Faizal Mamat

3D Graphic Artist

Mohd Faizal Rahmat, a seasoned 3D graphic artist with more than 20 years of expertise in the field. Born and raised in Pekan, Pahang, Faizal's passion for 3D art began as a hobby to improve his skills and techniques for art visualization. After graduating with a degree in architecture from the University Teknologi Malaysia in Skudai, Johor, Faizal's hobby evolved into one of the most significant turning points in his career.

Faizal's artwork "3D Kota Melaka," which depicts the Malacca empire before it was lost to the Portuguese, has gained widespread recognition and was recently featured in the German history journal magazine, GEO Epoche in its May 2021 South East Asia History Edition. The positive response to his Kota Melaka artwork on social media has given Faizal hope and encouragement to continue his work.

In 2019, Faizal collaborated with a well-known fashion designer to redesign the throne room and audience halls of Istana Negara, including the Seri Mahkota, Seri Negara, and Seri Maharaja, in conjunction with the installation ceremony of the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Faizal was also commissioned to redesign the Sultan of Johor's crown, adding a more contemporary touch to the ornament in line with Sultan Ibrahim's modernisation efforts.

However, after doing 3D visual art as a side hustle for 15 years, Faizal turned his passion into his main source of income due to a change in circumstances. Faizal lost one of his legs and was diagnosed with a neurological disease in March 2020. While his disability prevented him from having a full-time job, he did not allow it to stop him from putting his expertise to good use.

Today, Faizal is focusing on publishing a visual arts book featuring his artworks highlighting the splendour of Melaka city. He also plans to produce a book containing a compilation of his 3D art pieces, including his Malay palace collection. Despite the challenges he has faced, Faizal remains optimistic and passionate about his work, and his artistic talent continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
