Description Maamor Jantan’s painting beautifully captures a vibrant village at night, lit by the glow of streetlamps. Figures stroll along the path and a bike vendor selling satay adds a touch of daily life. Traditional houses line the way, reflecting the village’s deep cultural heritage. With delicate brushwork, Jantan masterfully creates a serene and atmospheric portrayal of life after dark.

Maamor Jantan, nicknamed "Mr. Cakcibor" (The Dragonfly Man) for his signature motif, rose to prominence in Malaysian art circles despite starting his artistic journey later in life. Apprenticed under the renowned Khalil Ibrahim in 1984, Jantan developed a distinct style known for its delicate transparency and range of mauve hues. After years of honing his craft alongside friends and his mentor, Jantan's first solo exhibition, "Figment of Imagination", took place in 2014, showcasing his dedication to capturing scenes of Malay life and landscapes. Beyond visual arts, Jantan is also a musician leading a traditional keroncong orchestra, further demonstrating his deep connection to Malaysian culture.
