Together with his siblings, he has nurtured his interest in art and today, his works focuses on fishes and other nature related subject matter. His work with Batik motifs have gained him much recognition where they have been seen at international events like LIMA 2000, the Asean Tourism Fair in Nagoya, the 19th Korea Travel Fair in Seoul and the 5th China-Asean Forum, among others.
