We have seem Aiman Hakim's previous works - his sculptures and his realistic paintings of toys and objects.
This is an evolution of his work, realistic representations of 2 protagonists to deal with issues of the world.
He is a good painter and we were excited to see his advancement. However, there was still something missing with his paintings. Almost there but not quite there. Some aspects in the paintings were missing or not gelling together. Things like depth in the paintings and dynamism/flow of the painting (should read Rudolf Arnheim) and the use of symbolism/ allegory to express himself is not very original or exciting or outstanding. Not enough to give you a "wow! must buy" type of feeling.
Points for collectors: For the above reasons, we give him a neutral rating. We will sit on the sidelines and still follow him. Still some elements missing but hope he will continue working and find solutions to the problem areas. But we're happy that he has managed to sell quite a few already.
