Technically Anas' works shows imposing of stroke and colour mixture and brush spread. Visibly in his certain work; various viscous and thick mixture of colours apply from the line usage, 'drip', 'splash' through the series of 'Tari Tempur’(The Battle Dance), 'Glimpse Series', 'Firefly' and 'Mystical 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, Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky 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.

What's in my mind?
I totally immersed in the process of creating my paintings. Like Pollock said: "Every good artist paints what he is", but don't presume that I'm a good painter, when you paint, what's in your mind? If you're copying from something into your mind, then how are you transferred onton canvas? Colour, emotions, expressions, experimental and so on.
Abstract art is not from nothingness, abstract arts is pureness from another of you. Sometimes you can explain what you do, but sometimes you don't. Leave it. Sometime you're stuck and it's very hard to continue. You speak, stare, monologue, and glimpse even doubtful to your painting when you paint.
I transfer my 'thought images' onto canvas by using variety of colors via my 'movement' and expression in every stroke of my brush. I express my feelings onto my artworks.
I like stroke of brush, texture, dripping, splash, lines which I can express it. Is painting itself record enough? I will say yes and no, but you can't stop people’s judge your painting. I passion about making art; to tell a whole story in one paintings is not enough because whatever you do there’s still has a limitation. Human. - me
