Home is where the heart is, a place of belonging holding warmth, memories, and connection to loved ones. The beautiful and personal objects around the home are captured in the artist's signature bright colours. Decorations such as flowers, teacup, and a fruit bowl adorn the living space, to rejuvenate and calm the mind and spirit.
Azman Hilmi catapulted into the art scene with his Major Award triumph in the coveted Young Contemporary Artists (Bakat Muda Sezaman) competition. It was a mixed media collage of dangerously looking tools, sharp and heavy, and inspired by American Pop artist Jim Dine. But Azman's oeuvre is completely the opposite, very homey scenes of still-life, interiors or gardens with lots of flowery plants. Azman received his BFA at the Mara Institute of Technology. He taught part-time at his alma mater from 1991-1993, before becoming an instructor in hand-drawn batik to less-abled people (OKU) at the SM Pendidikan Vokasional Khas in Shah Alam. He had few solos, at Art Salon, Bangsar (2001), Artseni in Starhill, Kuala Lumpur (2006) and Gehrig Art Gallery (Journey Of Colour, 2015) in Penang. His other prizes include 1st Prize in an orchid painting competition at The Mines (2001) and incentive awards from Galeri Shah Alam's open show in 1996 and 2015, besides another at Pelita Hati Gallery of Art in 2010. He had also taken part in the Malaysia Eye exhibition in London in 2013, and the Asian International Artists Exhibition in Seoul, South Korea, in 2009 and 2010.
