Dr. Dzul Afiq Zakaria is an accomplished artist, designer, researcher, and academician with more than a decade of experience in art and design. Actively involved in the art scene and design industries, Dzul’s passion for both his creative practice and academic career fuels his continuous exploration of aesthetics and innovation. A passionate thinker and coffee lover, Dzul balances an easygoing nature with a determined focus on achieving his goals. His artistic journey is influenced by figures like Willem de Kooning, Syed Ahmad Jamal, Yusof Ghani, and John Lennon, to name a few, who knew their own minds and found strength and creativity within—qualities that resonate deeply with Dzul's own approach to art and life. The world is all the better for it. His artwork blends abstract expressionism with the rich cultural traditions of Islamic and Malay art. His doctoral research explored the intricate relationship between spirituality, culture, and artistic expression, offering profound reflections on the legacy of these traditions. Through his exploration of complex patterns, symbolic themes, and cultural narratives, Dzul’s art connects the historical with the contemporary. His work is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually resonant, making him not only a painter but also a philosopher of art. Beyond painting, Dzul excels in graphic design, treating it as a visual language that communicates complex ideas. His contributions to art philosophy, aesthetics, and design, particularly within the context of Islamic and Malay traditions, are both transformative and significant.Industry Career & Experience: 2017 - Akademi Seni Budaya & Warisan Kebangsaan, ASWARA (Lecturer) 2015 - Management and Science University, MSU (Lecturer) 2014 - The Art People Gallery Malaysia (Board Director & Co-Exec) 2013 - Lensariolist Creative Etp (Art Director) 2010 - Malaysian Institute of Books & Translation, ITBM (Executive Designer) 2010 - Metafour Advertising Sdn.
