THE ARTISTS
Born on 09 Oct 1987, Haziq has loved animals from very young. Lacking in speech, he learnt to express his passion through drawings. Animals are the the main subject of his paintings. He often paints eyes prominently as if to help tell a story. To date Haziq has included landscape and nature as subjects and choses sunsets as his favoured time of day.

His interests includes creating polymer clay figurines and reading encyclopaedias on animals thus his amazing knowledge of the animal kingdom.

Izzati has always been very enthusiastic about colours that surrounds her world. From the age of 5, given her first set of color pencils and paper she has always loved expressing herself through art and is at peace doing it.
Izzati dedicates herself totally to her canvas piece each time she paints. Her studied strokes and thick dabs of vibrant colours present not only ‘imaginary friends’ and characters but also elaborate representation of people, places and peculiar socio-environmental issues.
In the past decade, she had exhibited or participated in many significant exhibitions, both on local and international platforms and has won prestigious awards through her unique creative expression.
