Malaysian Contemporary Art : loyar berkasih

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim giving his autograph on my painting....
My friend/collector Miss June Rubis is curating and event for Loyar Burok...its called Loyar Berkasih, inconjuction with Valentine's day... (loyar berkasih means lawyers in love in Malay)

we're trying to auction off this here painting titled " love and coffee". I have created this art piece as a support for the Group "Borneo Youth Revolution", all the proceeds will be donated to BYR.

about the painting, its a story of a Malaysian couple who wanted to celebrate Valentine's day together, but because they didn't have money, all they can afford was watered down black coffee with the least amount of sugar. two drops fell, and one of the lovers quickly catches the drops, they couldn't even afford to waste any bit of the coffee, it's that precious for them.

But because of the changes that is and will be happening in Malaysia,
that cup of coffee will be the last cup that they have to endure, the cups that will come after this event will be sweet as the best brown sugar that could ever be served.
