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. 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, Dr. Dzul excels in graphic design, visual arts and multimedia, treating it as a visual language that communicates complex ideas. His contributions to art philosophy, aesthetics, and design, now, particularly within the context of Islamic and Malay traditions, are both transformative and significant.  Dr. Dzul is a person who is quiet by nature and intentional by choice. He finds meaning in silence, structure in chaos, and beauty in simplicity. Industrial Experience Karangkraf Group Sdn.
