A serene and beautifully atmospheric landscape, The Park captures Ahmad Nazri Abdullah’s gift for transforming nature into a quiet moment ofcontemplation. The tranquil setting and harmonious treatment of light and foliage create a sense of stillness, inviting the viewer into a peaceful retreat away from the bustle of everyday life. Nazri’s landscape paintings are known for their sensitivity to atmosphere, light and the natural environment. Ahmad Nazri Abdullah was born in 1937, in Melbourne, Australia. He studied at Swinburne Technical College when he was 15 and his career began as a regional creative director for an advertising firm before becoming a lecturer at the Mara Institute of Technology (ITM), now known as UiTM. He was then appointed Selangor Royal Court Artist by Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. He has painted 145 official portraits, 12 of which are of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
