Maamor Jantan was born in 1961, in Kulim, Kedah. He was a well-known musician and artist of the Modern & Contemporary movement. The Cakcibor Series (Dragon Flies), which has become his signature motif in recent years, is the primary medium for his artwork. He demonstrated his close relationship with Nature by depicting the “cakcibor” with their delicate, transparent wings. “I wished for others to comprehend the fragility of life. At the same time, I did not want them to harm the environment and I wanted them to understand how critical it is to preserve our ecology, the artist said. Additionally, Maamor Jantan painted kampung series, particularly his “Hari Raya Series,” which is highly sought after in the trade.
