HANNA Cheriyan Varghese’s death has taken an original and innovative talent off the Malaysian art scene. She was a leading visual artist, renowned for expressing her Christian faith and spirited thoughts in lively imagery.

She was, from the beginning, involved with new and exacting work in different media such as oil, acrylic, batik, metal-tooling and wood-block printing. She was passionately dedicated to exploring new forms and courageously inventive in her painting, up until the weeks before she died in Kuala Lumpur on June 12, aged 71.
