Shazia Jaffery

There are many ways to paint. There are many ways to see.The paintings that i make come from eyes and heart.I am basically inspired by human ... mostly paint on human psychology...dreams and feelings .
Creating art is an endless search for beauty,what is beautiful cannot be expressed with the given set of words. Color say more than combination of words can ever evoke.I create art to explore the relationship between man and which he cannot explain. My art tends not to tell people what to think but simply ask them to why we create.
My basic belief is that creativity is an expression of the God within, in my paintings; I am looking for spiritual significance in ordinary people and objects.
That is why I explores the human experience and have always been fascinated by the human condition. We all feel. The challenge is to glean some meaning from all of those feelings. How we react to situations is what makes us uncommon; what makes us each unique. I explore this thought in my work. I often combine objects out of context. I enjoy creating meaning through shapes and figures sometimes words. My particular challenge is to communicate the emotions, situations, myths and experiences of a human life.
