Mohd Sani Mohd Dom known as Pak Sani is a veteran painter whose works were exhibited at the National Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 2012 is a member of Angkatan Pelukis Semenanjung (APS). Pak Sani is a self-taught artist who has perfected his techniques in both oil and watercolour medium. In ‘Untitled, 1990’, Pak Sani brings observers down memory lane, to what can be assumed as a seascape, where a villager is clad in a sarong and white t-shirt, hard at work – painting his boat. This painting is simple, yet laden with nostalgia and meaning. The painting also reflects Pak Sani’s prowess in oil and meticulous attention to detail.
