In this boat scene, the water is adorned with the most translucent,
sapphire blue wash. The colours are invigorating and spontaneous,
charming the onlooker with each stroke. On the side, a wooden
pier extends into the distance, where bicycles rest, accentuating
the serenity of this leisure moment, reminding us always to appreciate the subtle, yet peaceful joy within everyday life.

Raised in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Syahman Ibrahim developed a genuine passion for the urban and natural landscapes surrounding
him, inspiring a creative journey that effortlessly blends these
seemingly contrasting realms. As a registered architect with
Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia, he offers a distinctive perspective to his
artwork, blending a sense of precision and awareness developed
through his expertise. His artworks become a canvas reflecting the
harmonious interplay between the structured urban environment
and the lush greenery inherent to Malaysia. In particular, he found
solace and inspiration in the world of watercolour, where he
discovered a profound connection between the built environment
and the organic beauty of the Earth.

Syahman Ibrahim exhibited at the Galeri Karya, Pahang (2023);
Balai Seni Lukis Kelantan” (2019); National Art Gallery (2019);
Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (2018); Thaksin University,
