If there is one childhood incident that validated Hisham Salmin’s love for drawing and encouraged him to explore his artistic side, it must be what happened on his first day of primary school.
“I remember that I drew a yacht, a very stylish one. The teacher and my classmates really liked it and since then, I have always been drawing – whether for leisure or for work, ” he says.
That incident was four decades ago, and he still talks fondly about it today.
