Texture art showcases Syahidatul's creativity

Nur Syahidatul Nazirah Mohd Aris, 31, has found a deep connection with texture art, a form that has become a vital aspect of her life, stemming from a childhood interest in art and creative activities.

Originally from Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, she holds a Diploma in Accounting from Politeknik Port Dickson and currently works as an Administrative Officer at Bank Negara Malaysia. Her journey into texture art began around 2023 when she started exploring it as a hobby. This led to an opportunity to participate in an art bazaar organized by the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery.

I have always loved art, drawing, and crafts since I was little, even though I don't have formal education in art.

Although she does not have formal art education, her passion for drawing and crafts has been present since childhood. "I have always loved art, drawing, and crafts since I was little, even though I don't have formal education in art," she said. "When I saw texture art pieces on social media, I was intrigued to try it myself because I am also a fan of home decor."

Her initial inspiration came from works seen on social media and her interest in interior design. Nur Syahidatul Nazirah plans the concept before gathering the necessary materials. What started as admiration for digital art evolved into her creating her own pieces as a pastime.

She fondly recalls her first creation: a simple abstract design using basic textures and pastel blue colors. Notably, this piece was made at the request of a customer from the Philippines who was interested in her art during the 2023 art bazaar. "I felt very happy and proud because I managed to create something with my own hands, and people were very satisfied," she said. This experience not only brought personal satisfaction but also strengthened her confidence to continue exploring and developing her passion for texture art.

Her growing interest in texture art motivated Nur Syahidatul Nazirah to learn various techniques independently. She utilizes social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube as primary resources for understanding techniques and processes. She believes that mastering basic techniques can take a few weeks with consistent practice. The primary challenge in the early stages was achieving neat, balanced, and consistent textures, but she persevered through practice.
