ABOUT

Muhammad-Railey-12.jpg

Muhammad Hafiz bin Railey

I am from Malaysia. I discovered my passion for art when I was still in primary school. Working my way through high school and college, I am currently in the finishing stages of my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art in The School of Art, Birmingham, UK. â€‹

​

When I create art, I typically respond to personal subjects. Things that I view as intangible, I try to bring it into existence. I view ideas that we think of but can't physically bring into existence as a challenge for me to pursue and solve. These ideas are most commonly referred to as dreams. In ones mind, the role of dreams play a very personal part in creating ideas. Its uniqueness is what drives me to find ways to bring it to life. I focus on my own personal experience with dreams and use them to fuel my artworks. Being immersed in my own thoughts, I am able to create a practice that is spontaneous and genuine. The topic at hand is very subjective so I commit most of my time into creating and producing. With all my resources and practice,
I am heading towards self enlightenment and understanding.

​

My current work explores the narrative of my dreams and what they mean. I am using multiple ways to approach the idea of a dream itself. Experimenting with different mediums, I am able to capture different atmosphere and reaction that suits the storyline of those dreams. I believe in versatility when it comes to this specific subject because it cannot be deciphered with only one formula. The path that I am on currently allows me to dive in deeper to find the root of this phenomenon.
