Akhmal Asyraf is intrigued by the Nurture vs Nature dichotomy of existence. Using mixed media on sawn wooden planks, he questions the reality we are living in, how fragile things are and how we are shaped by the historical and social environment we are in. After graduating from the Universiti ITM with a BFA, Majoring in Painting in 2009-2010, Akhmal held his first solo, Rebirth, at RA Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur, in March 2013. In 2013, his work was selected for the Arts Kuala Lumpur on the fringe of the Miami Art Basel, and he also took part in Art Expo Malaysia. He was selected for the Young Guns exhibition at Chan Hampe Galleries in 2014.
