Artist Statement

Love is the purest sound, the eternal call that connects hearts beyond time, belief and boundaries.

My work is rooted in this divine emotion and in the timeless spirit of my homeland, Sindh, a land whose history stretches back over five thousand years. Sindh has long been a symbol of peace and coexistence. For centuries, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and others lived together in harmony, where a temple and a mosque could stand across from each other, united by the same rhythm of devotion.

Today, that balance feels fractured. Intolerance and division have clouded the compassion that once defined our culture. Through my art, I seek to rediscover and preserve the fragments of that lost harmony.

I explore symbols that transcend faith and geography such as the bell, the rose, the calligraphic word and the blue tile. The bell rings in shrines and churches, even around the necks of Sindh’s gentle cattle; its sound is a call to peace. Roses, scattered across mosques and holy sites, speak of love and reverence. Blue tiles and intricate patterns echo the beauty of Islamic architecture, inspired by Mughal, Persian and Central Asian traditions, timeless expressions of unity and grace.

In a world overwhelmed by materialism and noise, these paintings offer stillness. They offer a moment of reflection, a breath of love, a prayer for peace.

As Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai prayed:

سائينم! سدائين ڪرين، مٿي سنڌ سڪار،

دوست مٺا دلدار، عالم سڀ آباد ڪرين

“O Lord, may Your blessings always rest on Sindh;

may my sweet Beloved make the whole world prosperous.”

This prayer guides my journey as an artist, a wish for love, peace and harmony to return to the hearts of people, to my Sindh, and to the world.
