The creator of this masterpiece is Nas Suha, a Malaysian artist who said he wanted to design something stunning
In a viral post on X, Nas showed that the mural, standing at an impressive two and a half storeys tall, features a striking depiction of a Chinese woman in traditional attire, gracefully holding a kopitiam-style cup.
"For this artwork, I aimed to create something hauntingly beautiful — something that would make people stop, stare, and take a moment to appreciate its beauty," Nas shared.
He added that the mural took him about a month to complete due to bad weather and the unfortunate experience of having his painting materials stolen — twice.

However, speaking to SAYS, he said the entire project with ZUS Coffee — from ideation and painting to coating — was actually months in the making.
"I received final approval from the ZUS Coffee team for the designs of four murals — one huge one outside and three smaller ones inside the shop.
"The proposal process alone took around three months, starting in June last year," he told SAYS.
That was Nas's biggest artwork in 2024. However, the artist is no stranger to creating gigantic works of art.
His murals can be found across Malaysia, with collaborations featuring other major brands such as Hotlink in Terengganu, Samsung in Melaka, and Express Rail Link in KL Sentral.

Nas, who hails from Terengganu, told SAYS that he has been a full-time artist for four years, and is currently based in Cyberjaya
The former engineer shared that his artistic journey began at a young age, with his mother always encouraging him to participate in art competitions.
In another viral X thread, he said his mother would always return home with hampers or toys, telling him that he had won.
"Years later, my aunt told me that I never won any of those contests. My mum was the one who bought all those 'prizes'. I was speechless.
"But deep down, I'm glad she did that," he said.
"Because of what she did, it has continued to influence who I've become today. I've kept drawing, and it has become both my passion and main source of income."
