NURUL AMIRAH BINTE ZAIN

Amirah has a keen eye for patterns found in nature. She also expresses herself with bold lines and vibrant colours. Combine those qualities together, and you get a marvelous collection of motifs and artworks.

In Sultan’s Mosque 1932, Amirah pays tribute to one of Singapore’s most cherished landmarks. Her acrylic painting captures the grandeur of Masjid Sultan with its luminous domes, rhythmic arches, and sky awash in blue and gold. Through bold lines and radiant hues, she celebrates faith, unity, and the timeless beauty of Kampong Glam’s heart — a place where history, culture, and community continue to meet under the same golden light

The original mosque was built between 1824 and 1826 for Sultan Hussein Shah, but by the 1920s it had fallen into disrepair and was replaced with the present structure. Designed by Denis Santry of Swan & Maclaren, the mosque blends Islamic and Indian architectural elements, and its gold domes — ringed with glass bottle ends donated by community members — remain one of Singapore’s most cherished landmarks.
