Khalil Ibrahim’s masterful skills of watercolour, are styles that move from the almost real to the almost abstract. Khalil’s preference for the human figure has led him to create iconic images of men and women in the East Coast Malaysia fishing villages against stark backgrounds of blues, greens and watercolour landscape of villages.
