Maziyah Yussof is a Bruneian multidisciplinary artist whose work is inspired by the lush landscapes of her homeland. Specializing in painting, pattern-making, and digital illustration, her art reflects themes of peace, nature, and fertility, deeply influenced by her Islamic faith and experiences as a mother. Maziyah integrates spiritual symbolism with Brunei's natural scenery, creating dreamlike, engaging pieces that highlight her connection to local flora and fauna. An advocate for environmental preservation, she uses her art to promote appreciation for and protection of Brunei's ecosystems, blending cultural heritage with environmental advocacy in her serene and meaningful works.
Her latest project - the 'Darussalam' series aims to convey this message.
