Jahid Akhtar Gazi

Jahid Akhtar Gazi is a self-taught artist from Calcutta, India. Without any formal art education or workshops, he learned every stroke, shade, and idea on his own. From childhood sketchbooks to modern acrylic paintings, his journey has been guided only by curiosity, emotion, and faith in the creative spirit.

His work blends realism with spiritual symbolism — exploring silence, emotion, and the unseen light within human experience. Through faces, wings, and color contrasts, Jahid captures the quiet strength and mystery of the soul.

He works primarily with acrylics on canvas and paper, and continues to experiment with sketches and upcoming oil paintings. Each piece is an expression of freedom and a reminder that true art comes from dedication, not degrees.
