Muaz Z


Muaz Z is 13 years old. He is a neurodivergent artist. He has been diagnosed with autism since he was 2 and half years old. He has loved to draw since he was small. He used to draw and paint whenever he felt mad, anxious, gloomy, overwhelmed or even when he felt joyful. Besides that, art also can make him express all of his imagination and thinking in his own world without limitations. He conveys his story line on the canvases which is purely intuitive and spontaneous. He feels content and proud when seeing his artwork being exhibited and people notice his art genre. Muaz artwork is not about the details, the beauty or the trend going on, but it's special because of the uniqueness of his thinking.

In 2022, he participated in his first exhibition at Selangor International Book Fair, Shah Alam Selangor. At this exhibition, two of his paintings were successfully sold. Since that, he has participated in about ten exhibitions locally and internationally. Besides that, he also contributed his artwork image in the 2025 calendar and collaborated with NARC UiTM and HLB Bank.

Artist Statement:

"A beautiful painting is not only judged by its beauty but also by the process used to make it, which involves sincerity and a unique way of thinking.“ - Muaz Z
