I really enjoyed painting the different sections of this piece and using texture and colours to create a pattern, almost a tapestry of my journey so far. The tree is the Supertree in Gardens By The Bay, but it also symbolizes the tree of life connecting all forms of creation. The different blocks of colour, texture, growth and leaves tell different parts of my story, my route, my dream of being a professional artist.
Yusoff is a fine art artist who was trained during his time as an inmate, at Visual Arts Hub. As an artist specialised in oil painting, Yusoff has since taken part in four editions of the Yellow Ribbon art exhibition as an inmate which enabled him to hone his skills under the guidance of Singapore Art Museum curators. Moving ahead, Yusoff aspires to be a full-time artist and create works that will go towards meaningful causes in and for the community. This year, he is delighted to have been involved in art projects during his stay in High Point, as well as the current community service project.
