Newcomer artist Pali's abstract paintings tap into positive frequencies

Pali looks to his surroundings for inspiration when creating art. This is reflected in his two solo exhibits - 'Peristiwa Di Awangan' (2021) and 'Frekuensi' (2022) - where he responded to the lockdowns and, in the latter, used twigs and bamboo from the area he lives in to create different effects in his artworks.

After a sold-out show with Rissim Contemporary at Art Expo Malaysia 2022 at GMBB in Kuala Lumpur last month, artist Fadhli Ariffin, better known as Pali, is over the moon.

But there is something else that he is looking forward to now: to enjoy the "balik kampung" experience to the fullest after two years of missing Hari Raya festivities and family.
