Sampan

His style is an evocative pictorial arrangement where details are merely hinted at thus challenging the viewer to use his or her imagination in the interpretation and appreciation of the artist work. For him, one of the country`s primary beauty appeals as a painting subject is the quality of light found along the Sarawak riverbanks and a favorite subject the `sampan` (local boat). Light reflects from and through water, lingering in the air and changing the light conditions. Since as a medium, transparent watercolor is about light reflecting through veils of color, the coastal areas offer a wonderful opportunity for most water colorists to achieve inspiration.
