Artist Statement

Art is not a thing - it is a way, way of expression of imagination and skills that turn out on canvas with the intension of stimulating thoughts, emotions, beliefs or ideas.

Art is my life and passion. Art for me, is one in which the hand, the heart and the mind go together and convert my feelings in to a master piece, whether it is an oil painting, water color or calligraphy. My art work is the reflection of my personality. Being an artist, I want to process my existence in a signification and unique way.

The more an artist works, the more he develops his peculiar style. The same style becomes his identity and my identity I think is the versatility, versatility and techniques of painting.

Working Style and Methodology

While painting, I always think over the colours, line and the composition to create depth in the painting and to deal with the perspective.

I always select the colour palette according to the theme of the painting and personally like dull colours. I always take colour language into account whether it's a figurative art or a landscape. Focal point of the painting cannot be necessarily the middle/centre of the pain

ting but it can be off-the-centre in the composition or even the focus can be on the colours as well, hence it gives a flow and a movement to the painting.

I would be an artist even if I wouldn't be, Art is in my blood. I try to make art exactly the way I perceive it. Depiction of Pakistani culture and my beloved country's culture is my favourite genre in the painting.

Achievements

I have already conducted 4-Solo Show Participated in 54 national and 12 international exhibitions, and overall 22 Achievements in all medium of art.
