Puteri Noor
I was Born 1970 in Malaysia. I'm self-thought and have
been painting on silk since 1985. With the experience of over two
decades, I have made numerous silk paintings using different kind of
techniques in creating my silk art. I use tjanting and wax as tools to
create my silk paintings which are also well known as tools to create
batik art. Wax is an excellent resist as it gives sharp lines and holds
the dyes back very well. Silk painting is creating art on fabric, with
silk as its canvas. Silk painting can be done on different surfaces,
with or without control, in styles ranging from intricate to free form.
I use a traditional wax applicator known as tjanting which is used to
let the hot wax flows through it as to create a resist in silk
paintings. Once the painting is done, then it will be followed by the
process of removing wax from the fabric and this will leave the silk
painting with the combination of beauty and unique in its own way. As a
full time silk painting artist I also enjoy paints on other media when
I have the free time.
