Abstract
The Malay proverbs are one of the traditional Malay literary works that resemble other literary works. In addition, various aspects and learning for the purpose of educating and teaching and for aesthetic satisfaction are also used by their authors to benefit the readers. The simple but meaningful style of conveying values is useful thoughts for living in our daily lives. The free styles of writing, unconfined to a certain language style, have made the Malay proverbs a figurative form of speech that are rich in norms and worthy advice, comparisons, maxims, principles, and mannerism in the lives of people. The aim of this research is to deliberate on several Malay proverbs (metaphors) as sources of inspiration for several Malaysian artists on how proverbs can reveal through visual arts. The study attempts to explain the power of proverbs and the phenomena of critical thinking as a natural way of categorizing the human ethical value experience. This research will at least encourage the society to feel and appreciate the beauty of traditional Malay literature and the beauty to execute good ethics values in life.
