Osman Mia thinks he suffers from a criss-cross of the left and right brains. But that's just him overthinking things as usual.

He's best at strategizing, setting up collaborations and getting things done. Even his painting technique is more project-like than impromptu.

He is a Malaysian artist whose work bridges the worlds of abstraction and expressionism in a style he calls modern expressionism. His paintings are distinguished by dynamic transitions of color and light, enriched with layers of modeling paste and glazing, creating a unique interplay between impasto and luminosity that are tactile and ethereal at the same time. Each piece resonates with an emotional depth that invites collectors to explore beyond surface beauty.

A self-taught artist, Osman's passion for painting began in childhood but took a defining turn in 2003 when he discovered the tactile allure of acrylics. With a background in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso, his analytical precision merges seamlessly with his artistic instincts. After a hiatus from 2014 to 2024, he has returned to the art world with a renewed vision, focusing on original works and prints of selected works.

Osman's art is driven by a desire to immortalize the beauty of fleeting moments - whether in landscapes, abstract forms, or evocative scenes. His signature style - modern expressionism - balances structured composition with emotive spontaneity. Layers of color and texture converge to evoke wonder, serenity, or introspection, urging viewers to linger and engage. As he reflects:

Osman specializes in bespoke commissions for abstract and expressionist pieces, collaborating closely with clients to translate their vision into striking, one-of-a-kind works. His original works are available for acquisition, and he offers private viewings upon request. Osman plans to debut his first and solo exhibition in Malaysia in 2025.
