I’ve lost a few family members to cancer and know some cancer survivors. It explores what the patients and their families go through. So I sit with them and hear their story to draw inspiration from and then further base my artwork accordingly.Īt the moment, I’m working on a piece about cancer survivors. Therefore, if I’m doing a commission work, I like to make it more personalised for the person who has commissioned it. My work is mostly about Pakistani society, the norms here, and people around me. I then sit with the client and have a discussion over a cup of coffee to get to know that person. When I do take commission work, it’s from people I like. I rarely take commission work because, I feel, it restricts an artist a little. When it comes to the business aspect of art, I let the professionals at the gallery decide for me. To me, my main focus should be to paint and be creative. I let them decide as to how they want to price it.

I formulate a price point in my mind and then share it with the gallery that displays my work. And for me, to have that understanding of the topic clearly is really important. That’s because most of my work talks about a particular topic. Every piece I’ve produced has to have some research behind it. Every time I’m producing a piece, it starts with ample research. So whenever I’m painting, I’m letting my internal emotions pour out on a canvass. What kind of ethics do you bring to your work?įor me, painting is like talking to myself. You are one of the humblest and down to earth artists we know. I feel it’s all about how my art speaks to the viewer and how they connect to it. So when it comes to my clients, I can’t really pinpoint as to who my client is and who isn’t. Different people react differently to my artwork. Because I have seen people with tears in their eyes just by looking at my art as they connect with it on an emotional level. Even to my surprise, the way people connect to the art is the main selling point. The kind of folks who buy my art has a different range of people. I have been blessed to have all my shows sold out. So that’s why most of my pieces are abstract and more conceptually linked.

Most importantly, however, I tend to gravitate towards conceptual work because I like conversation starting pieces where people can stand in front of the painting and talk about it. I used to do figurative paintings, but then I just got bored of that, or maybe I lacked patience to do the details. I’ve studied live drawings and paintings for two years.

Why haven’t you ever delved into clearer image painting? I see it as a tool to communicate with the viewer and relay my message. For me, it’s a conversation starter as I want to convey my message to the viewer through my artwork. There’s always a concept behind every art piece I produce.
