About Aishah
Hello Art Lover`s
I am Nor Aishah binti Alli known as Aishah, an artist and educator whose journey in the world of art is deeply intertwined with my passion for cultural storytelling, emotional depth, and creative expression. Born and raised in the culturally rich city of Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, I now base my work in Kuala Lumpur, where I have spent nearly a decade refining my craft and inspiring others through the transformative power of art.
Art has always been more than a profession for me. It is the essence of who I am, a means to communicate with the world. With a mastery of oil painting, I use my art to express emotions and ideas that resonate on a universal level. My current artistic focus is on my ocean wave series in oil painting. As a collection that captures the boundless energy, power, and beauty of the ocean. The ocean is an ever-present source of inspiration for me, symbolizing life's constant ebb and flow, its challenges and transformations. Just as the ocean has an unpredictable nature, so does the creative process so it is both an exploration and a constant reinvention.
Through my ocean wave series, I aim to capture not just the movement and physicality of the waves but their emotional significance. The ocean, with its vastness and depth, speaks to resilience, calm, and renewal. Each brushstroke in this series is a metaphor for navigating the highs and lows of life, an invitation to pause, reflect, and find meaning in nature’s eternal rhythm. I work with textures and layers, often blending colors with my hands to create a visceral, raw quality that speaks directly to the viewer's senses. For me, this tactile connection to the canvas is a way of translating the very energy of the waves onto the painting, giving them life and emotion.
The Ex Prime Minister of the day, the honorable Tun Mahathir Mohammad, commissioned her to do a portrait of himself and this is housed at the Prime Ministers Museum on Langkawi Island.
In 2018, she conducted her first solo art exhibition at the exclusive WK bungalow where she exhibited over 50 paintings to an appreciative audience.
I preferred medium is oil colours because is an extension of myself and I dedicates massive effort to the creation of each oil paintings , in sticking with my perfectionist nature. My version in art is to give a greatest inspiration to people see beauty of mother nature in the world and draw attention to some of the nature in oil painting. A waves represents forthcoming events or occasions , celebrations , emotions , hidden emotion , secrets and opportunities as well as threats. Dreaming of surfing on large wave indicates my adventurous nature of taking things positively.
Art Coaching
Deciding to work with a mentor or art coach is a big step. This step requires the artist to admit that they want more from their personal or professional space they are occupying. The moment you admit you would like more from your passion is the moment nothing can hold you back. Its beautiful, empowering and can oftentimes be very intimidating.
As a mentor, I want to help take the fears and the doubt out of your personal journey through art. Each piece of art we create shapes us into who we become, every brushstroke, every idea, every time we make ourselves vulnerable to the colors we arrange on the canvas we grow. I want to help you grow in the directions of your dreams. Helping you sidestep some of the most common pitfalls, introduce you to new ideas and ways to think about getting the most from your art and challenge you to think bolder and bigger by pushing you beyond the space your art occupies. As a mentor I work to direct you towards taking risks that can help you to see past the limitations of the brush.
