Amanatullah Muhammad

Muhammad was born on 4 May 1993 with truncated arms and legs — a shock to his deeply religious parents. Guided by their strong faith, they accepted his birth as a divine responsibility and gave him the name Muhammad Amanatullah. The youngest of six children, Muhammad grew up surrounded by encouragement and resilience.

He attended a primary school for children with disabilities until the fifth grade, then continued his studies at public schools through high school. His artistic journey began in the fourth grade, when he took part in several school competitions that sparked his love for painting. Starting with coloured pencils, he soon moved on to watercolours, acrylics, and later, under the guidance of Komang in local workshops, oil paints.

Muhammad’s talent has earned him invitations from various institutions to give painting demonstrations, and he has been featured in television interviews. He credits painting with giving him a sense of purpose and contentment in life. After meeting the artist Sabar Subadri at an art fair, he learned about the VDMFK and now hopes to continue growing as an artist, sharing his work and showing the world his creativity and determination.
