Follow up from the couple of previous post from when we were to post about a favourite artist or somewhat, I picked a 26 year old local Singaporean, Dzaki Safaruan.

More about him over at (http://www.nafa.edu.sg/showcase/graduation-portfolios/muhammad-dzaki-bin-safaruan)
If one were to google him online, there is nothing much to find as he is not as famous as Ed Moses or the other artists that we know of from this assignment. But maybe I’ll just introduce him with what I know.
Dzaki Safaruan is a cousin of mine who recently graduated from NAFA for his Degree in Fine Arts. He has this “thing” for art since his secondary school times(?) and decided to pursue his love and passion for art right after. One thing for sure, he always has a sketchbook with him. Sometimes it would be as big as A4 size, and sometimes it would be the pocket sized sketchbook.
I have a few of his art works that you could look at and be as amazed as I am.



As you can see, he used black ribbons to compose a graphic face late Mr LKY.


This is another interesting art piece he made.
His works are amazing, with all the precision lines and details. Recently he gave me an advice and ideas on how I could make my monoprint exciting from his experience. I tried one and its result:

So I painted the paper with black ink, and ‘showered’ my paper with powder then pressing it down.
P/S: You can find out more on his work on Facebook, Webstagram and/or Instagram!
awesome technique suggestions…
