	"My name is Anassuwandi Ahmad, I am a full time artist from Kedah, Malaysia. I graduated in 91' from MARA University of Technology, B.A in Art and Design, majoring in Fine Art. My father was an art teacher. "
	ARTIST Most of my works are abstract. I love abstract because I can express my feelings on my artworks. I like stroke of brush, texture, dripping, lines which I can express it. My medium field is acrylic, oil, mix media and I do sculpture from iron and mix media. My guru was Fauzan Omar, Ramlan and Yussof Ghani. I really admire works of Pollock, Kline, Anselm Kiefer, De Kooning, Kurt Schwitters, Mark Rokho and Rauschenberg. In the mean time I have several (series) of artworks. Some series are related to one another and some are individuals. My series are "Hikayat Series", "Tribe Series", "Trap Series", "Glimpse Series", "Landscape Series" and other series. ARTIST STATEMENT Such a vacuum, our mind inhales and records each moment and perception from experience around. It collects and become a coagulator, where finally bring it out, and which is done by me to produce my artworks. I create a deep perception angle of our life; seeing the nature and human have connected and interact with one another. Memories, glimpses and experiences will interpret through to express impetus onto the canvas. Those images collection and surrounding objects been delivered through my artwork. Through process of experimental called 'self expression'; consumption as: colour, brush stroke, drip, splash, texture, accidental, colours, brush stroke, structure, line, incision and form are some elements that producing my art work. This is the way I translate a deep feeling appearing onto something surface. In comparison; musician to a song's note or poet to a sheet of paper. Reputed begin since the year of 1940s, abstract flew election via 'abstract expressionist' spearheaded like Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko and 'Action Painting' as those ever produced by Jackson Pollock as a references of my artworks. Abstraction gives a freedom to compose without pinioned to something image or particular certain object only. It challenges the process of mind creation, involve for expression painter without having a restriction; doing experimental in creating. These kind of arts are in ongoing discussion, of course with some interpretation by people. Each of my artworks are relevant with one another narration angle of, theme and procedure of production. One suggestion for the completion of the work is when my feeling has seen enough elements succeed decorated in full or part of it, although it is not as a totally final satisfaction of creation. Every work has deep limits in production. There are neither end nor a full stop in it narration produce of my artworks. It will continuously produces. Abstraction is the best way to express what is in person. Each experiences from the deep perception towards life are as much as artworks. RESUME Name : Anassuwandi Hj.
