Ismail Latiff is a Melaka-born artist who trained formally in arts at MARA Institute of Technology. His artworks of both the mystical and abstract kind are known locally and internationally. Having started off his career in advertising before switching to fine arts, his philosophy of life and work is “Art is Life and one of the best introductions to art is Nature”. He is the man behind the moon who brings forth the beauty of the natural world through the play of vibrant hues of blue and green, with splashes of yellow and red, giving life to this painting. Ismail Latiff’s works are based on nature and solitude, some sort of paradise, as seen in this painting.
