I started drawing at a very early age.
Later I studied Fine Art at the University of Punjab in the Fine Art
Department which created a solid base for my further development in this
field. I was also inspired by the Abdul Rahman Chughtai style of
paintings and his beautiful colour combination. He gave me the opportunity to
show him my early work and I consulted him with my rough sketches and finished paintings.
He taught and guided me the command of the water colour media flow and
its delicate environment of hues and colour saturation. My paintings
represent my thoughts, emotions and feelings, and the colours
I choose
to finalize the painting to show this as a communication process to
those who see these paintings. My style of Painting depicts day to day
life of my culture with my imagination and the world I see around me.
