Johan Marjonid (b. 1968, Johor) is a full-time artist known for his realistic paintings of Malaysia’s diminishing tropical rainforests. He graduated from the MARA Institute of Technology (UiTM) in 1992. He never refers to photographs when painting his mystical green-scapes, preferring to paint on-site instead. His favourite forests to paint include Gunung Stong in Kelantan, Gunung Tahan and Taman Negara in Pahang, the Royal Belum state park in Perak, and the Endau-Rompin national park. In 1994, he won first place in the National Art Gallery’s “Malaysian Landscape” competition. His works are in the collection of the National Art Gallery, the Johor State Art Gallery, PETRONAS, Pos Malaysia, the Malaysian Timber Council, and various other public and private repositories.
