The art of dance and performance is expressed through a palette of soft brown hues against an assemblage of geometric shapes. Nik captures the graceful poise and movement of the dancers rendered in free-flowing lines and patterns. The stretching of the arms and energetic leaps of the dancers express and share emotions.
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, Selangor in 2001. Among the group exhibitions that he has participated 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.
