Sefullah said he was inspired by landscape and nature. He started producing art professionally seven years ago. While in detention, he was involved in designing murals and paintings. He has shown his work at SSI’s Art is Our Voice exhibition in May 2014 and StirrUp Gallery’s Refugee Week exhibition in June 2014.
Over the past year, Sefullah has also participated in a number of art exhibitions, including a show at The Red Gallery in Redfern.
“When I was a child, sunsets in my village were quite intense and bright and I was fearful of the sun going down,” Sefullah said. “Those days are finished and I am grown up now. I now think about those days as the best of my life; the days of the past. I miss Friday sunsets in my village.”
