Painted in his iconic art style, Haron Mokhtar’s works often portray detailed illustrations of heritage architecture at the top part of the canvas and local people at the lower end of the canvas. The building in this piece still maintained its traditional designs and three gorgeous ladies wearing beautiful fabric are seen featured on the lower part. Fresh blue and green colours used in this painting further enhance the contemporary presentation of tradition and culture.   Haron Mokhtar made a big splash in his graduation year (BA Fine Art in Painting and Printmaking), UiTM from 1983 to 1987 when he won the Major Award in the Young Contemporary Artists competition with his Melayu Pop mix of traditional architecture and culture.
