Zainurin Mohamad known more as Ajis to his art circle friends was born on May 24 1964 at Kajang, Selangor.
His early exposure towards art starts at Jalan Melayu in Kuala Lumpur in 1986.Being turned down to study arts at UiTM, provokes and challenge him to be more determined to become a successful artist.
Ajis travel all around the country drawing portraits for his petty living ; forcing him even to spend his night at the roadside.
Ajis the diver loves the underwater world and Ajis the painter loves to share its beauty on canvas. His first dive at Tenggol Island off Trengganu leaves a lasting impact in Ajis future works. He awed at its beauty and were amazed at its serene and calm atmosphere. His ability in depicting the beauty is an art by itself. Ajis is a realist in the true sense.
He use to lament; "divers do not paint and painters do not dive" and this spark his interest in pursuing his underwater odyssey. "The beauty of our marine life is our heritage, it is our responsibility to highlight the awareness and preservation because it have the value that signifies our appreciation towards nature".
