Malaysian artist Leonard Siaw makes a splash in Benalla

Limkokwing Borneo alumnus Leonard Siaw was granted the opportunity to participate at the Wall to Wall Festival in Benalla, Victoria from 9 to 12 March 2018.

This is a fitting follow-up to his Grand Prize-winning effort at the ‘Make Your Mark in Melbourne’ street art competition in 2017.

In its fourth year, the annual Wall to Wall festival has gained reputation as a world-class street art festival which has elevated Benalla as a pioneering leader in street art.

Leonard showcased his artwork among internationally-renowned names such as Rone, Adnate, Askew, Ears, Choq, Shawn Lu, Putos, Slicer, Rashe, Sirum, Kit Ritz, Guido Van Helton, Dvate, 23rd Key, and Deams.

The highly-talented 30-year old’s murals and artworks can already be seen in Kuching’s various shopping malls, kopitiams, studios, museums, cafeterias, coffee houses, and local boutique hotels.

He credited Limkokwing Borneo for shaping him into the person he is today, specifically the support he received from his lecturers.

“It was a tough, but a very fun journey. We had to learn how to manage our time and with all the crazy deadlines in the industry today, I am definitely skilled for all that. All the lecturers have molded me into who I am today. As the Chinese proverb says: ‘A teacher for a day, a father for life’. These are all my sifus!”
