Amin's figurative works range from one end of the spectrum to the other; from abstract expressionist to photorealism, there is little doubt about Amin's expertise in the human form.

Finding sensuousness in the energy and movement of the human anatomy, Amin's abstract works consists of figurative images overlapping each other to create a unique muscular form, not unlike the works of Marcel Duchamp. To prepare for these paintings, Amin does research on anatomy and muscle structure. He paints mostly the male form and uses fervent brush strokes to define energy and dynamism.

His portrait works, on the other hand, are precise, intricate and photorealistic. Amin's current project involves painting portraits of royalty of the past, captured in a handful of black and white photos from the renowned Lafayette Studio in France that were discovered during construction work to demolish the building. This series is for the golden jubilee celebration commemorating the Sultan of Kedah's 50th year of rule.

Using his acute colour and lighting sense, Amin transforms these greyscale photos into full coloured portraits. His sense of colour and fabric is especially apparent in his renditions of the intricate brocade and embroidery of the traditional costumes of that era, an effort that required him much sartorial research. He is proud to point out that amongst all the photos recovered from the studio depicting sovereigns from around the world; only Malayan royalty wore their traditional outfits.

Amin is inspired by Renaissance masters such as Rembrandt and John Singer Sargent. In working on this series of photos, he enjoys bringing to life the gloriousness of an age past and plans to continue focusing on portraiture.
