ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I’ve always been inspired by the changing colors of the sky—whether it's sunrise, sunset, a cloudy day, full moonlight, or bright sunshine. The idea behind this painting was to experiment with texture, so I used Plaster of Paris (PoP), which provided the exact texture I envisioned. To further enhance the strength and add patterns, I incorporated medical PoP bandages. After applying gesso, I created my color palette. This piece consists of many layers and took about two months to complete. I also added texture to the sides of the canvas, eliminating the need for framing, as the painting has a substantial presence due to the texture. It invites viewers to explore the material and texture while evoking a sense of warmth and depth.

As a Lahore-based artist, my creative journey has been a continuous exploration of the profound beauty that resides in the convergence of diverse mediums and textures. Having embarked on my artistic path professionally after completing my diploma in fine arts from the esteemed National College of Arts, my work has found its place in prominent galleries, such as Zahur-ul-Akhlaque and Al Hamra Art Gallery. My artistic palette spans the rich spectrum of oils, watercolors, and acrylics. I revel in the joy of experimentation, constantly pushing the boundaries of each medium to uncover new dimensions and textures. This journey of discovery began during my diploma, where my works in watercolors graced the walls of prestigious galleries. Driven by a thirst for growth, my learning did not conclude with the diploma. Seeking to enhance my skills further, I immersed myself in one of my teacher's studios, focusing primarily on oils. This phase of concentrated practice added a nuanced layer to my artistic skills. Contributing to the Jack and Jill Foundation's project "Incognito," a public art initiative for children in Ireland, marked a pivotal moment in my career. My paintings, spanning oils, acrylics, and watercolors, have received international exposure through virtual exhibitions at The Holy Art Gallery in London. The core of my artistic expression is in the beauty and mystery of the natural world and historic architecture. My paintings celebrate color, form, and texture, acting as meditations on the interplay between light, shadow, and atmosphere. Whether working with oils, acrylics, or watercolors, my creative process hinges on the foundational technique of layering. This method provides depth and complexity to my artworks. My landscapes, while capturing the external world, are more than mere representations; they embody my emotional and spiritual connection to nature. My art is an ongoing dialogue with the world—a visual symphony celebrating the diversity of mediums, the wonders of nature, and the timeless allure of ancient structures. Through this dialogue, I aspire to leave an impression, offering viewers a moment's respite and a renewed appreciation for the boundless beauty surrounding us.
