​Him.


Graffiti art has influenced Shah's artistic endeavours and the way he perceives his surroundings. From the highly emotive spontaneous visual execution to a more poetic approach in terms of comprehension and its result, his art has changed. Through both his academic and professional endeavours, he has honed what he learned from his previous artistic exposure to build a refined form type of diplomacy between the clash of culture, experience, understanding, and emotion.

Shah has learned to appreciate graffiti art's poetic perspective as a concept or source of inspiration. He has recently developed an interest in performance art because of how spontaneous and contentious it has historically been. This particular motive alone inspires Shah to produce works of art that raise particular themes in an engaging way.

Shah thinks he can spread a different sort of visual art aesthetics and foster a modern understanding of the present and coming generations of Singapore artists by fusing his academic education with his unconventional street knowledge.
