An artistic dance form accompanied with orchestral music, Ballet originated in the courts of Renaissance Italy, and the dance form was adopted in France, Denmark and Russia. Executed in a palette of blue hues, Nik Rafin used flowing curved lines to exemplify the softness of the female ballet dancers. The light and graceful movements of the dancing figures are heightened through the interplay of clean shapes and lines. An artist, photographer and entrepreneur, Nik Rafin runs his own gallery, Rafin Art Gallery. His paintings are reinterpretations of the scenes and subjects that he captures with his camera lens with added emotions. Among the subjects of his works include wildlife and sceneries executed in various media such as watercolour and ink. His abstract paintings from the Escape series are a personal rendition of escaping negative emotions. He held his first solo exhibition at Golden Palette Art Gallery, Subang Jaya, Selangor in 2001. Among the group exhibitions that he has participated in included the Annual Malaysian Watercolour Organisation group exhibition at NN Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2006); All In The Family Art Exhibition at Balai Seni Lukis Negara, Kuala Lumpur (2005); Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design Students Art Exhibition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA (1997), and more.
