If you pay peanuts you get monkeys Painting

Follow me on instagram: @artist_nadeemb (commissions available) Growing up in the British Northern town of Lancashire. My creativity was recognized and encouraged from a very early age, subsequently, I attended the Cumbria Institute of Art and Design. I carried on developing a passion for fine art and my initial training and self learning was in drawing, painting and sketching. I spent a lot of time looking at the works of Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon as well as impressionist painters such as Monet and Pollock. Within this period of mainly consisting of self learning I looked and studied intensely form both within the human figure and the form contained within inanimate objects. Being of Indian origin, artists such as Bhupen Khakkar, Gaitonde and Raza have influenced my work to some degree. I have taken on the cultural and traditional practices from a variety of art forms and acquired them through my own self-learning period of art. In the past three years I have started to develop more of a signature style using very expressive strokes and my inclination now is towards abstract form of line, colour and shape. I am searching for intensity, colour and energy within my work.
