Mohd Khairul Izham presents a striking composition where elegance meets enigma. The acrylic on canvas work features a bold interplay of black and gold imbued with symbolic richness and visual contrast. The rose, rendered in shimmering gold against a darkened backdrop, becomes a metaphor for beauty, resilience, and transformation, central themes in Khairul Izham’s artistic vocabulary. Born in 1985 in Maran, Pahang, Mohd Khairul Izham is known for his layered, symbolic works that explore memory, identity, and cultural narratives. His paintings often feature recurring emblems drawn from both personal and collective histories, presented through intricate compositions and a rich, often dreamlike palette. Golden Rose reflects the artist’s refined control of colour and symbolism, offering a contemplative visual statement that is at once bold and poetic.
