Many years ago, I visited an art exhibition by Della Butcher Gallery in Tanglin Shopping Centre, Singapore, where I met Mdm Fawziah, a staff member. She introduced me to an artwork by the renowned artist Mr Ramli Malek (Malaysian, 1943-1982), known as the Father of Malaysian Batik.
She shared the moving story of how the artist tragically drowned while attempting to save a boy near the river in Kelantan, where he had created this piece featuring lush Nipa Palms vegetation. Touched by the narrative and captivated by the artwork's beauty and preservation, I decided to purchase it. To this day, I cherish this remarkable piece. It is time for this piece to go to a better home. The artist signature appears on the verso.
