Ismail Abdul Latiff’s Tarian Purba…Malam Di Joga is a captivating abstract piece that evokes a sense of mystical movement and cosmic energy. The title, translating to “Ancient Dance…Night in Joga,” reflects the artist’s fascination with ancient rituals and the rhythm of nature. Latiff masterfully uses swirling strokes and layers of reds, golds and black, creating a dreamlike night scene. The composition feels alive, as if it’s pulsating with the energy of the dance it represents, drawing viewers into a trance-like experience of timeless, primordial beauty, rooted in nature’s eternal cycles.
