A multi-discipline artist, Azam Aris produces artworks using a variety of mediums and approaches. Influenced by the world of fiction and comics, his body of work is a continued search for new perceptions, to find meanings and representations in daily experiences. He often depicts surreal and mysterious imageries derived from a combination of sources including Malaysian dreams, comics, and fairy tales. In this dark and mysterious work, a well-dressed family of five are seated within a quiet nocturnal landscape in the forest. Azam Aris received his Bachelor in Fine Art in UiTM Shah Alam (2005-2007).
