Maamor has an unconventional approach to art; he employs a unique style of using delicate tones of blotched and bleached colours and pairs it with his deep fondness for kampung scenes. He would go all around the country to paint, often with his group of friends and at one time, with Khalil himself when he was more mobile. He has set a palette of mauve hues from light to darker (nocturnal scenes) with delicate transparency.
