Noble Woman (Marie Curie) Painting

Zakir Husain [Tanha] (1977, India) I take my job as an artist very seriously. I like to deal with complex contemporary issues. My recent series "Bint-e-Hawwa deals with one of the contemporary issue about importance of female in a society. In Arabic, Bint means Daughter and Hawwa means first woman to step on the Earth. All human beings are the children of same mother (Hawwa) and father (Adam) as per Quran who are referred as Adam and Eve in the Bible. The Almighty has put in every woman , the qualities of mercy, affection in the form of mother, sister, wife and daughter which helps to maintain a healthy relationship. This is what makes it beautiful and powerful. Without the woman, the whole world would have looked colourless. Apple ,a symbol of knowledge, beauty, freshness and colour is often seen instead of woman's face. It is my belief that every woman in the world is beautiful. I like to document my day to day experiences. Enviroment, social issues and nature, science are some of the topics that interest me. My works being sensitive in nature, they mainly travel between many art movements like surrealism, realism, abstraction etc. **Awards & Achievements ** 2018. 1st place in Cartist 2018 Jaipur. 2018.
