In “Marista,” viewers will encounter a vibrant palette that takes centre stage. Awang Damit Ahmad’s masterful command of colour imbues his artworks with a sense of energy and vitality. Through bold brushstrokes and a daring exploration of hues, he creates a visual language that resonates deeply. The colours dance and sing, conveying emotions and transcending language, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a symphony of chromatic beauty. Awang Damit Ahmad’s artistic style embraces abstraction as a means to communicate the ineffable.
