Reflections: Wild at Heart Exhibition

I identify myself as an artist with a wild heart. With an untamed and unbounded creative spirit, art allows me to express myself in unconventional ways. In this exhibition, I aim to portray these elements through wildlife which represents the untamed beauty, strength and freedom.

About Malini Nathan
I am a Malaysian artist living in Singapore. I specialise in contemporary art and custom artwork. Having a strong passion for arts, I express myself through various mediums including acrylics, oils, charcoal compositions and resin. I mainly employ bold colours using palette knife and have created my own style using that technique. My penchant for travelling and backpacking has shaped her creativity over the years.

Inspired by the adventurous soul, my style of artwork revolves around rough textures, sparkles and shines. I believe that as human beings, we evolve though our travels and experiences. It is a form of self-discovery. We learn from the rough patches, reflect on it and hold on to what is valuable. My paintings consist of many layers of colours using palette knife to create textures and the addition of gold leaf and crushed glass. Gold symbolizes what is purest and most valued in terms of human aspirations and self-discovery. The crush glass in my art creates an illusion of a mirror and is seen as a reflection of what we have learnt, making each piece an avant-garde.
