Fawwaz Sukri draws inspiration for his art from romantic comics from the sixties and shines a light on female protagonists. The concept for his works stem from this genre whilst he addresses deep set problems within society, illustrating serious issues in his unique style of art. His approach in conveying his stories allows Fawwaz to express the complexity of underlying perceptions of human morals. His style induces conflict by utilising the medium of pop-art that appears casual to convey messages of the dark side of our very nature.
