There is a reason why fantasy always appeals to human beings. It is an entirely new world so easily accessible through our imaginations. Regrettably, these wonderful places are difficult to put into words, let alone paint. This is where Ismail Abdul Latiff comes in. He creates this magical realm through figment of his imagination and dreams. With this work, one could easily be transported to a faraway place with every brush stroke. Ismail Latiff brings these dreams to fruition in this piece. The Kumbang Malam Sakti 1 & 2, are inundated with a strong palette of orange, interlaced with tinges of gold and white. The art piece is like a burst of nature’s elements. His moon is the centre core of all the colours’ destination.
