Abu Jalal Sarimon

1964 , Singapore

Abu Jalal Sarimon (b. 1964, Singapore) is a full-time painter who finds joy and rejuvenation in the process of painting. For him, painting is a form of therapy and a kind of meditation that allows him to explore the magical realm of the irresistible. He challenges himself to turn his ideas into visuals, and views painting as a selfless and beautiful act. Jalal sees painting as a spiritual journey where he is in his own world yet still aware of his surroundings. He likes to explore the richness, joyousness, and harmony of colours, and picks human, nature, and objects as his subject matter. He portrays his colourful perspective by applying vibrant colours, creative styling, and strong drawing skills with intellectual inclinations, sometimes with a comical composition.


Artist Statement

My artworks are among the many modes through which I commit “The Call of the Mind” bringing my thoughts and ideas, presented to human cultural sensibility. Characterised by finesse and sense of humour, my creations encourage viewers to evaluate the hidden meanings of each work, behind their seemingly simple yet candid compositions. Always ‘strong in colour’, the nature of my artwork is openly apparent, and I thoroughly composed this mode of expression to create engaging conversation with viewers.
