Najib's iconic compositions highlight the juxtaposition of animals and the urban cities. His paintings are visually striking created with saturated colours, stencilling techniques and mark making, to bring out a message on the effects of habitat loss. It is vital to conserve wildlife to protect animals from extinction. Stranger I is a testament to the artist's creative ability to synthesize elements from street art and modern techniques interweaved into an intriguing visual landscape.
