Known for his kampung scenery and unique figures with small heads, broad shoulders and stretched arms, Ek Sem never fails to highlight the hidden gems of a village life. Depicted in the scene is a couple enjoying the afternoon bliss whilst the man in kain pelikat strumming away his guitar and the girl in pink dress seems to be dancing to its beats accompanied by an ombre butterfly. Love is in the air! Life is more carefree and laidback when living in a village. Ek Sem seems to have diversified. He holds the Guinness World Record for the Largest Pin Art incorporating 3.7 million map pins with 22 different colours. The work measures 9.35m x 6.7m. He has also done larger works, like one titled Peranakan Tea Ceremony, measuring 880cm x 675cm! Ek Sem graduated with a Diploma in Fine Art at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art. His first solo was at Galeri Maybank in 1994. From 1995 to 2000, he was with the Singapore-based Opera Gallery, and later his works are shown at a gallery in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.
