Giving the kolam a new twist

Vivid hues: Ng said she chose to integrate warm and cool colours to reflect traditional Indian motifs.

PETALING JAYA: The kolam is usually made of coloured rice and flour but one Malaysian artist decided to use paint to give a different spin to the colourful Indian traditional artwork.

For her nine pieces in conjunction with this year’s Deepavali celebrations, Vivian Ng Suet Yuan sprayed and hand-painted her works for a different visual effect.
