A.J. Rahman creates works influenced by the natural environment, kampung houses and seascape. The proximity to nature can be felt in these landscapes. These works with light and fluid brush strokes are typical of the artist’s style and his favourite subject of kampong vistas. Together with A.B. Ibrahim and Saidin Yahaya they formed a group named Tiga Serangkai which was a start of the art history in Kedah. In 1946, the trio opened up their art studio called Warna Art Studio located in Pekan Rabu, Alor Setar. Besides being an artist, A.J. Rahman is also a school teacher.
