“I had a solo show while still a student at the Arts Council gallery – Gulgee wrote in my brochure – new time “She will go a long way.”

I hope I have fulfilled the confidence he had in me.

After my Master’s from Punjab University in 1968, I joined C.L.A.C located in the Arts Council building, to teach drawing and painting alongside Ali Imam. These were great days as many artists came to work and exhibit in the gallery below the institute. Some painted in my studio amongst whom were Sadequain, Ahmed Pervaiz, and Bashir Mirza. They became dear friends, the gap in age was filled with camaraderie. Sadequain used to say that “My line was only second to his, but my colours were better.“

“My work is a prayer of gratitude and hope “THE PAKISTAN SAGA II” is an attempt to bring to the viewer the phantasmagoria that is Pakistan my country, my people through my eyes. paint with my heart my moods, subjects and medium vary but the feeling remains the same.“

My works exhibited in the current show bring to the viewer my passion for recording all that leaves a mark on me. stay true to myself, my style comes through.

In these troubled days, I hope my work gives the viewer a sense of pleasure and hope for a better future.
