Art is the unbridled freedom to create, transcending limitations, and serving as a profound means of self-expression.
Syahmi Syazwin (b.1998), more fondly known as Awin, is a full-time artist based in Kuala Lumpur. Graduating from UiTM Shah Alam, she received her Degree in Fine Art (2021) with a major in painting. She identifies as a surrealist painter and takes pride in being a young, female artist. A theme which she continues to draw inspiration from is space. Having to utilise her small bedroom as her studio space, Awin seeks to bend the rules and venture across the physical limitations through her practice. Blurring the lines between reality and imagination, her oil paintings are a testament to the power of mindset and perspective. She has participated in group exhibitions such as Tribute to Malaysians (2021) at Galeri Prima, Sebilik (2021) group exhibition at Segaris Art Center and Karex Art Against Aids – Jury Pick (2021).
