I come from a family that loves painting. My grandfather and dad was a leisure oil painter and my dad had been interested in painting military miniatures.
My mom always supported my passion and enthusiasm for painting. When I was younger, she kept all of my childhood drawings in a folder and sent me to weekend art classes while she went to adult religious classes. My turning point was when I was 15 years old, I saw an advertisement for a free art workshop held by the local arts and crafts initiative backed by the state government. In the Craft Village painting workshops, I studied under Kelantanese watercolor and pastel veteran painters: Mokhtar Ishak and Ismail Kadir.
In late high school years I was selected for a few days workshop representing my state in the National Art Gallery internship program. After I finished high school, I entered an art school: The One Academy where I studied under professional illustrators and was exposed to the creative commercial industry.
Soon after I worked for an Australian console gaming studio until I was an (Environment) Lead - concept artist. It was an important learning experience as I was able to harness my digital painting skills and speed. Eventually, I went to India and Yemen and I was particularly involved in painting on location where I refined my painting tools and skills.
Primarily I am a full time fine art landscape painter, and a freelance 2D (environment and props) concept artist.
