When we look at Rafiee Ghani’s paintings, we may notice quite a few things about him and his artworks. There is the love for the environment, and the passionate love for colour and that he looks at the world very differently. Both the colour and abstraction result in this hypnotising piece beckons the viewer to dissect the narration behind it, trying to understand it and at the same time, change our view of what this artwork’s subject matter truly is like through the artist’s perception and mind.
