Self-taught Mohammed Zaki was initially trained in Architecture at a local polytechnic but left Architecture to pursue painting full time in 1993. He started painting in watercolours but switched to painting in oil and acrylic in mid-2007. His subjects cover a wide spectrum – portraits, architecture, Malay cultural heritage, historical buildings, flora and fauna.
