“I was awarded RMB 2,000 for my efforts in what was the most intense three hours I have ever painted,” Feeger said in an email to his family and friends back home in PNG.
“It was a packed house with artists creating all forms of contemporary art from photography to textile, graffiti, performance, body art, projection, water colour and acrylic,” he wrote.
“A truly unique experience and I am glad everything fell into place for me.”
The competition drew artists from the Pacific, Asia and Europe .
I'd like to commend Jeffery on a wonderful effort. You have really done PNG proud with your love of art! Keep up the good work mate, and hope that we'll see more of your spectacular art work in the future.
