The artist illustrates a calming scene of a river surrounded by trees and greens. It’s a very peaceful sight to look at as it’s not crowded with people or congested with cars like in the city. One who truly appreciates nature would endure this feeling of serenity. As a child in school, Mansor Ghazalli had a tendency to indulge in drawing and creativity. Although he did not receive support from school, his father encouraged him to pursue his talent and continue drawing. Mansor studied at Clifford School Kuala Kangsar before joining Institut Latihan Perguruan in Johor (1952), later joining the Specialist Teachers Institute in Kuala Lumpur. He was claimed to be one of the earliest Malay students majoring in architecture in Brighton, England in 1962. Mansor’s work is characterised by his ability to inject an exhilaration and feeling of deep affection for the natural environment, painting with the aims of showing his appreciation for the beauty of nature.
