Passion Painting

After completing my Master's in Fine Arts with distinction from Punjab University, Lahore, I embarked on a new chapter in 2007, moving to the UK to continue my practice while freelancing as an art tutor. Before relocating, I had a robust career spanning over 12 years as a lecturer in fine arts. Alongside my teaching career, I worked as a visualiser/designer in a software house, further honing my creative skills. Reflecting on the past 16 years, I must say, "The change in environment has influenced my artistic development, nurturing an interest in the excitement of dance and the beauty of the natural world." About My Work: My art serves as a therapeutic frequency for its viewers to amuse their souls while enjoying the vibrant colours and their mesmerising hues. The thematic concentration is based on intangible harmony of flower’s smell, music of flutes and ballet dancer’s movements. My style is a reminiscence of impressionism’s capture of fleeting moments and expressionism’s simplicity. I balance a rhythm in art using spontaneous lines, pulsating colours and semi-complete shapes that maintains the characteristics, individuality and identity of my subject.
