M. Shafarin Ghani’s abstract composition focuses on space, colour palette and brushstrokes. Oeuvre V’s vast landscape illustrates a stormy day at sea where the ocean and the sky collide to become one. A self-trained artist, M. Shafarin Ghani was mentored by Abdul Rashid, a portrait painter in Penang when he was 14. He held his first solo exhibition at Zhong Hwa Art House in Penang. He learned to play the violin from a musical friend he met at his first solo show. Within two years, he completed his music studies and achieved the level of a performing violinist and orchestra composer. His musical and artistic talent are intertwined as illustrated through his paintings. Shafarin has held several solo exhibitions at Core Design Gallery namely Oeuvre Of Movement No. 1 (2010); Oeuvre Of Movement No. 2 (2012) and Man & His God (2014).
