This painting is about a mother's love, as well as the nourishment and encouragement mothers give you throughout your life. The Orchid was my mother’s favourite flower. In a more general sense, flowers also symbolize love. We buy flowers for loved ones in times of birth, marriage and death. I put the flowers in a circle to symbolize the circle of life and to bring the focus of the painting to the relationship between the mother and her young.
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.
