This alluring piece by the wizard, Ismail Latiff sees a tranquil blue hue spread across the canvas. His hallmark, the moon is ever existent in his artworks. This piece seems to draw the viewer in, taking them to a faraway place as they look into the distance. His paintings seem therapeutic in a way, as they provide the viewers with a mysterious calmness. As he once mentioned, “I embarked on a conquest of inner space, texture and colour, bringing the beauty of the natural world indoor, that is transformed onto paper and canvas.
