ARTIST STATEMENT

When I look upon people, I find them draped in the cloth of innocence. But when their false nature is exposed, I feel appalled to see the bare skin of stinking humanity. If we grope through the dark and bleak personality of modern-man, unfortunately, we will not find any essence of life in it. We all are the hapless characters of a puppet show, hiding ourselves behind the cloth of hypocrisy. Immersed in charcoal, we performed our roles on the black and white screen of life.

Our Puppeteer (Allah) himself is a great Artist. He plays on our strings I first to put us into the maze of life and them to put us out of it. He warns us as: ye should keep secrets with you or lest you should be doomed.

In these paintings the delectate charcoal cloth is the make-up of modern man’s hypocrite’s face whereas, the rough surface of the canvas resembles the animal side of the human nature. The paintings personify the human drama. Outwardly, the cloth of hypocrisy is stable and calm, but behind it is a mysterious activity at its work.
