The 2026 calendar features 8 original artworks created by Zayn and Nafeesah each offering a sincere and imaginative interpretation of the world through the eyes of the two siblings. Their illustrations form the centre of the calendar’s theme, celebrating everyday moments, emotion and colour in ways that feel honest and expressive.
Wong Siew Lai, Chief Marketing Officer of BIG CARiNG Group said, “Every year, we are humbled by the talent and honesty these young artists bring to their work. Zayn and Nafeesah’s stories remind us that creativity isn’t just art — it’s communication, self-expression and confidence. Supporting their journeys is something we take to heart. By featuring their work, we hope more families and communities recognise the strengths within neurodivergence, and trust that platforms like this create space for voices that are often quiet.”
Zayn, who is autistic and high-functioning with ADHD, began drawing at the age of three. What started as simple sketches of buildings and hand-drawn maps soon grew into detailed illustrations that reflect his vivid, structured imagination. For him, each line drawn is a way to calm his busy mind and communicate how he experiences life from his own unique vantage point.
His sister, Nafeesah, who lives with dyslexia and ADHD, has always been drawn to bright colours and joyful imagery. Art has become her way to unwind after long days, with her pieces filled with whimsical buildings, playful scenes and “happy hues”, as her family describes them. Her illustrations carry her belief that life should be embraced with lightness and fun.
