The artworks of Ismail Latiff is the definition of vivid, lively, and energising. The same is true of this painting, which boasts a tasteful blending of diverse colours that creates a marvel of motion on canvas. These are the kinds of scenes that one only sees in their dreams or in their thoughts; they are exceedingly difficult to describe and even harder to reimagine. No place is better than our dreams, and no one other than Ismail Latiff is a better painter of those visions.
