Raja Najam ul Hassan 1970 Paris, France Largely self-taught, French born Pakistani artist Raja Najam ul Hassan found himself inspired and attracted to drawing and painting since his early childhood. Participating and wining the inter school drawing competitions during his school & college life encouraged him more and compelled his family to allow him to practice art in future more seriously. Finally he turned his passion in to his profession by started painting as a whole time artist since 2003 onwards. Living in the various parts of the world Hassan is well conversant about his art and his body of work. Hassan says, “My goal as an artist is to create fine art that brings inspiration & joy to the people around the world. I strongly believe that art has no boundaries neither categories but just to define the body of my work it falls somewhere in realism and impressionism. The whole beautiful world is my studio and the entire nature around me is my mentor. I would love to explore & paint as much as I can in a style which is distinctively my own.” Working as a full time professional, Hassan has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally in groups and solo shows including Tehran, Singapore, Dubai, Toronto, Doha, New Jersey and New York.
