Batik Presentation
by Masrina Abdullah
Masrina Abdullah is the renowned Malaysian Batik artist whose creations have won several honours and awards both at home and in the International scene.
She was the first winner of the Piala Seri Endon in 2003, an annual award that artists in the batik world look forward to.
Some of Masrina's designs are inspired by shapes and curves of Malaysian art for example the ones derived from the shape and movement of the clouds
known as 'Awan Larat' or from the ferns known as 'Sulur Pucuk'.
The pictures below give us a glimpse of her creativity.
Some of her exotic pieces were transformed into fashionable clothes for casual and evening wear.
The clothes were worn by some of the Asia eUniversity staff.
Her batik paintings are also on display at the Asia e University Gallery Knowledge Centre, carrying the themes of "Relaxing Tropic" and "Unseen Call".
According to Masrina, her inspirations for these were drawn from nature, and her interpretations of what is happening in the world.
The depictions of the environment as the result of the interaction of man and the course of nature she believes- 'is the intervention of the divine power.'.
