Hyrul Anuar Takes Peribahasa To A Whole New Level

by Maira ZamriFebruary 28, 2016

AFTER scouring the internet for a peribahasa to help memuji hasil kerja orang lain, it slowly dawned on us that there was none. We wish it existed though, because what better way to compliment the works of visual artist Hyrul Anuar?

His stunning visual translations of Malay proverbs have received attention from international portals such as the BBC and Thought Catalog. These drawings were made on his Samsung Galaxy Note 3 — we’re green with envy for his sick skills.

The National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (ASWARA) graduate in film and video has gone far with his graphic design skill, having worked for Leo Burnett in 2012 before receiving a work scholarship from United Colors of Benetton communication research centre Fabrica in 2014.

Last August, he also held a talk and workshop titled The Visual Series of Malay Proverbs in Yasmin At Kong Heng, Ipoh.

Now, we’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.


Tikam belakang

Seperti katak hendak jadi lembu

Sambil menyelam, minum air

Monyet mendapat bunga

Mengikat perut

Mendukung biawak yang hidup

Meludah ke langit, akhirnya muka sendiri juga yang basah

Laut dalam dapat diduga, hati manusia siapa yang tahu

Keluar mulut harimau, masuk mulut buaya

Kalau takut dilambung ombak, jangan berumah di tepi pantai

Berkayuh sampan bocor

Bercintakan geliga di mulut naga

Belum tumbuh gigi sudah pandai menggigit


Stalk Hyrul Anuar on his website, , and . You won’t regret it.

P/S: If you know the peribahasa we were trying to find, please tweet it to us!
