simpul seri (a roll of nature)

simpul seri, 2006, oil on canvas, 53.5x81.0cm, by yussof ag. damit,

I found this small plant infront of my father's house. When I look closer & zoom at the middle of the bunch, I was attracted by a roll of leaf located just at the center of other leafs. I took my camera and captured the beauty of nature.

I transfered the subject to my canvas. It took me about 22 hours and 54 minutes to complete this oil painting. Of course it was not a non stop 22 hours work. I only spent about 2-3 hours a day. Alhamdulillah, with patient, I managed to complete this art piece called 'simpul seri' means a roll of nature. Appreciate the beauty.

Destroying nature is losing

indah jemariku memohon doa

indah jemariku memohon doa, 2007, oil on canvas, 81x53cm, by yussof ag. damit, F.T. Labuan

Kita manusia sangatlah lemah. Sehebat mana pun kita, ada masanya kita mengadu jua. Mengadu kepada ayah, ibu, pasangan, adik, abang, kakak, rakan atau siapa saja yang sudi mendengar. Sehinggakan kadangkala kita lupa mengadu pada yang Maha Esa. Bila terasa keseorangan, baru menadah tangan.

Bila dalam kebahagiaan, jemari yang indah jarang atau tak lagi menadah. Kebahagian mengabur pandangan mata dan hati. Sehingga bertukar kesedihan.

Mari berdoa..

tua, tiba jua akhirnya

tua.. tiba jua akhirnya, 2003, poster color on paper, 71.0x54.5cm, by yussof ag. damit, F.T. Labuan


sebelum ini.. kelihatan merah… merah yang lagi licin kulitnya.. yang memancar keindahan serinya. Tapi.. ada yang gugur kerananya.. gugur di tengah garisan usia.. itulah antara pelayaran di dunia. Yang pasti, walau sejauh mana… jasad yang tegang akan layu, yang licin akan berkerut, yang terang akan pudar dan yang cergas akan longlai. Tua, tiba jua akhirnya.
