The Bahapa Kitani's Youngster Award of the Month August 2006

POP BATIK - ADDS COLOUR TO BRUNEI

Whilst reading the weekend Borneo Bulletin yesterday I can't help but be amazed with this young lady. J'adore her spirit, her talents and her skills.

We have plenty of Bruneians doing uniques things and she's definitely one of the example! The Brunei version of Andy Warhol. Good Work Siti!


J'adore what she said in the papers, "Youngsters always say 'Brunei is boring', but I don't agree with that. Maybe people think it's boring because they are always doing the same thing. I like to do things that are slightly different. There are so many things to do! Art is one of them."


Siti has an advice to others with hidden talents: "Don't be 'malu' (shy), not everybody will like what you like. If everyone was the same, life would be boring."

Right on Siti! and thank you for your beautiful Pop Batiks! You are definitely a favourite of our website.

We would like to nominate you
"The Bahapa Kitani's Youngster Award of the Month August 2006"!


Her pieces named 'Recipe For Imagination' and 'Talent is like Plaything'

Pieces are for sale

More Here






Exhibition: Till 3rd September 2006

Venue: Yayasan Shopping Complex
Email: originsam@gmail.com

Let's all give Siti a warm round of applause for her ingenius art and her spirit of a Brunei Youngster!

If you are a Bruneian, Young, talented and have the skills and feel that you have something to share with all of us do let us know. Who knows we will nominate you as Bahapa Kitani's Youngster Award of the Month!
