Innovative inspiring design
Mueen Saheed found inner peace and all it took was a paint brush,
canvas, myriad of colours followed by many sleepless nights and lots of
coffee. The effort to awaken the artist within him that was eagerly
waiting to emerge was not an easy one but his journey that began in 2006
is a great success.

Mueen never knew he will be able to fulfill his dream of becoming an
artist until he started experimenting by himself with the advice given
to him by two expert artists. Mueen’s work is mostly based on abstract
art and he uses lot of vibrant hues in his drawings.
They are a reflection of energy, freedom and inner peace. They
represent a spontaneous expression, flowing freely from the collection
of memories from his travels all over the world.
Each piece is infused with the rhythm of music which navigates him
from the first to the last stroke. His wealth of experience in the gem
and jewellery trade has given him a kaleidoscope of ideas and spectrum
of colours through which he creates these beautiful pieces of Art. His
work is a living, talking, inspiring and refreshing pieces of art.
“I still consider myself an amateur artist and believe that an artist
never stops learning; all my paintings are a distinct part of my life,
they read my inner feelings,” say Mueen.
In 2008, Mueen was selected by the Malaysian Art Gallery to
participate in the Geo Park Art Exhibition which was held in Langkawi.
In 2009, he participated in Expo Art in Malaysia. In 2010, and 2011 he
participated in the Tourism Malaysia Art Exhibition, and Laava
