Ylang-Ylang Painting

This painting was started before the pandemic and was finished almost after the end of the first wave. It was supposed to be a painting about the heritage and history of my town, Glan, but it changed gradually and naturally as my experiences were influenced by the pandemic. Ylang-ylang is a tropical tree that is native to and originated in the Philippines and has spread to Malaysia, Indonesia,New Guinea, and many more countries in South East Asia and Australia. However, the title of this painting was not directly taken from the flowering tree. It was inspired by a song written and played by a french multi-instrumentalist, singer, and musician, FKJ ( French Kiwi Juice ). The song itself and the whole EP were named after the Ylang Ylang room where he made all the tracks of that album. It is also the room where he and his pregnant wife stayed in while giving birth to their daughter. After a complication, their daughter tragically did not survive birth and this is where ultimately the idea for the EP stemmed from. Like the pandemic, the room signified an amalgamation of life experiences. It taught us the importance and the frailness of life and relationships, and the unforgiving nature of loss and death.
