Khalil is best known for his ode to rural women. He renders them with long slender silhouettes in a gorgeous spectrum of flat Pop colours, often with a sarung worn from the waist but bereft of its floral patterns. The milieu is often that of a beach, with a sense of wide expanse of wind, water and sand.
