He gets his inspiration through his admiration of nature. Faizal describes his creative process and his tarvels saying: “I am fascinated by the interplay of order and randomness that is found where man and nature meet” he said. “I have depicted isolated areas of scene which seem floating, silent, dark and gloomy… It was an interesting journey because each place gives a different marking…I [am] left with some exquisite marks that are a curious mixture of planning and randomness which something I feels underlies so much of my work.”

 

His first solo exhibition will be at Vallette Gallery in May 2016.
