Petronas Art Competition 2015

This post is long overdue! I notice the importance of keeping all of my art histories in
this blog so as to appreciate the effort I have put into keeping this hobby alive amidst
my busy routine. But time has changed me into somebody who prefers doing all the 
other things over updating this blog. Now is one of the rare times when I hear that 
whisper to update this blog on my highest achievement in art because I don't think I 
could ever achieve something like this again in my entire life:

winning 'Best Interpretation of The Theme' in Petronas Art Competition 2015.
Crazy right? Somebody like me, winning this huge thing? Probably one of the
luckiest days in my life, alhamdulillah :)

It felt crazier to see all the other winners having a strong background in art- like
some of them studied fine art for degree! Their winning pieces are a thousand times 
better than mine tbh! :D




My piece was displayed in Galeri Petronas in KLCC for like a month before they took it
down for other paintings. Got a Samsung Galaxy S6 as the award which I have sold to my
friend. The theme was 'Energy-present and future'. My painting is entitled 'The Twin Plug
Sockets' where the left hand side shows a socket giving energy derived from coal (present) 
while the right hand side gives out energy derived from biomass (future). Notice that the
left 'switch' is on. geddit? The switch is on? Double meaning lols.
