Born on 20th Jun 1966 in Lahore a historic city of Pakistan.'I have been in love with painting ever since I became conscious of it at the age of six.Polo is one of my favourite subjects. Polo is a game of thrill and I try to represent this thrill on my canvas. I go to to the great polo ground in my city Lahore, watch the game, enjoy the quick sketching here, capture the moment with my camera and return to my studio with the references as well as inspiration. Use bold and forceful strokes of brush to portray the action, emotion, movement and expression. Lay stress on gesture not merely paint the figures of riders and horses. Enjoy to experiment with the use of different colours, modes and atmosphere in my painting. In short I try to depict the motion with emotion through my art.
