We have seen many artworks online portraying our frontliners, who are bravely fighting against the global pandemic. This one particular portrait of our Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham by a very gifted artist surely caught our eyes.

In a tweet that has since gone viral with more than 4,000 retweets, Ahmad Faiz (@FaizTobeng) shared the portrait that his sister, Nur Fariza, made and specially dedicated to the one and only, Dr Noor Hisham!

Nur Fariza is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called mucopolysaccharidosis type IV that has affected her bones, skeletal structure, connective tissues and organs since she was little.

Nevertheless, her condition never stopped her from sharing her gift to the world, creating beautiful, life-like art and sharing them on her Instagram page.

Her paintings did not go unnoticed on social media too, with some of her earlier paintings gaining much attention after they were posted on her brother’s Twitter account, garnering more than 30,000 retweets. 

Mohon budi baik rakan-rakan semua untuk sebarkan bisnes Kakak aku (Fariza) ni. Mengambil tempahan untuk melukis di atas kanvas. Antara lukisan yang selalu dia buat ialah pemandangan, makanan/minuman, karakter2 Star Wars & byk lagi.
