The Artist Aik, embodies his creative essence and finds expression in the form of a woman who paints exclusively under the sun, the only source of natural light in which he paints. Whether basking in its warm embrace or finding solace under a shelter from rain, he, represented by her, never paints with artificial light. Deftly she wields her tools—a pencil, brush, and palette knife—with finesse, and strokes intricately with precision, transforming her intangible thoughts to tangible masterpieces. All her paintings are impasto, but highly detailed. As beads of sweat trickle down her body, she becomes a living canvas, a reflection of her laborious physical and spiritual commitment to her craft until a threshold of perfection is attained. Like one who has conceived and is about to bear a unique child of which there is no duplicate, she critiques every painting for days. Knowing that every concept is a new being brought into this world. One without repetition. A whole and complete story.
