Renowned as a landscapist, Mansor has a particular affinity with nature and this intimate relationship can be seen in his vivid and skilful renditions of jungle and village scenes. In this work, the artist used refined strokes to build his composition, alternating vertical and diagonal strokes on the shop houses, tents, etc. As a child in school, Mansor Ghazalli had a tendency to indulge in drawing and creativity. Although he did not receive support from school, his father encouraged him to pursue his talent and continue drawing. Mansor studied at Clifford School Kuala Kangsar before joining Institut Latihan Perguruan in Johor (1952), later joining the Specialist Teachers Institute in Kuala Lumpur. He was claimed to be one of the earliest Malay students majoring in architecture in Brighton, England in 1962. Mansor’s work is characterised by his ability to inject an exhilaration and feeling of deep affection for the natural environment, painting with the aims of showing his appreciation for the beauty of nature.
