ARTIST STATEMENT

The recent body of work is a continuation of my past twenty two appearances at various art galleries in Pakistan and abroad. 

At each appearance I adopted a new vocabulary to paint the essence of truth with lines and layers. As transparency is the quintessence of naked reality, it remains constant on my surfaces. with a blend of feelings, I express reality around through realism combined with modernism. in the remote recesses of my subconscious lies an effort to create a spiritual climate that touches the heart. I feel a new liberty when the beauty of every form is clear, visible and not overlapping each other creates a multidimensional view. I don't need to distort the naturalistic forms as done in cubism or other isms of art. 

I have externalized my outrage pat the hypocrisy-religious, social, economics-that cloaks and disguises our true intentions. in my works, a world emphasizing the   simplicity and joy of spiritual content versus the present contemporary situation with all its perils, I have peeled off layer by layer, the fables that determine our lives. My work is search of new possibilities in realism.
