Najib's early body of work centres on the lives of animals, particularly in response to deforestation, the depletion of their natural habitats, and migration. This series is distinguished by a unique visual language inspired by street art aesthetics. Although the word "predator" appears among the red letters, a closer examination reveals a more nuanced narrative. The work depicts a mother animal nurturing and feeding her young, highlighting themes of care and survival. Najib graduated with a BFA (Hons), majoring in Painting, from the Universiti ITM in 2010. He secured his Diploma from the Lendu, Malacca, campus in 2008. His awards include the Malacca TYT Action Portrait (2007), finalist in the MRCB Art Award (2008), 2nd Prize in Johor Open (2009), 1st Prize in both the Tanjung Heritage and Nandos competitions (2010) and Visual Arts Award (National Art Gallery, 2011). His solo exhibitions include The Promised Garden (2025), Pride & Prejudice (2020), Survival (2015), and Great Migration (2012). Najib had also taken part in Art International Zurich, Switzerland (2025), Art Stage Singapore (2016, 2017), Art Kaohsiung (2015, 2016), Art Expo Malaysia (2013-2017) and the Gwangju Biennale (2016), just to name a few.
