Maamor Jantan captures a fleeting harmony between nature and spirit in this Pemandangan series watercolour work. Set against a tranquil rural backdrop, the delicate silhouette of a bird perched, resting on a tree branch punctuate the soft horizon. The scene is rendered in gentle washes of blue, green, and sienna, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere that is both nostalgic and poetic. Maamor’s mastery of watercolour is evident in his restrained palette and expressive brushwork, where light and movement seem to dance across the page. This 2019 composition reflects the artist’s signature approach to Malaysian landscapes, rooted in his upbringing and influenced by his years of observation and quiet introspection. Works such as this appeal to collectors drawn to the lyrical qualities of watercolour and the evocative stillness of kampung life.
