Throughout his practice, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed's paintings convey a meaningful message that is for the preservation of the rainforest. A convocation of eagles is portrayed realistically, soaring within the natural environment. It's also a good symbol: soaring high represents prosperity. Enchanting pink and yellow roses are finely combined with subtle gradations of colour and shadow, endowing the painting with a magical charm. A mixed media extraordinaire, Shukri works with an array of medium such as acrylic, oil, collages and silk screen on fabric.
