Artworks

Selfless art describes even on the biggest storm of life, even if someone drowning till he can breathe no more, he still finds the strength to hold the light for the people around him to walk their path through, he still finds the strength to shine the light on their lives, and God / Allah always lift up such people even when there’s no hope left, I’m so dedicated and committed to the people I call friends and family.

This Treacherous Human art describes a scenario where a personage deliberately and consciously detached the pretentious face ( familiar face ) so the real identity ( unknown face ) could be revealed/uncovered. We are currently living in a WORLD where there are lots of deceptions, dishonesty, sellout, treachery, betrayals, treason, duplicity, falseness, pretense, cunningness, villainous, perfidy, trickery, let-down, and more.
If every human could willingly uncover the hidden identity behind the visible face, trust me, the PHRASE : ( it’s a cold world ) would have gone in to extinct and the WORLD would be a much better place for all mankind, cos every one of us would be very mindful with our dealings and associates with humans without unknowingly getting into a deathtrap.
