Overview
Artist Statement
Kaleidoscopic Multiplicity-2
My work is based on sophisticated use of abstraction and complex geometry where patterns repeat infinitely creating inspiring visual wonders. I take pre existing motifs from Roman and Persian cultures and develop them into my own form of visual expression. Repetition is intrinsic to all my geometric work as a whole. There are groupings and further groupings based on a pattern that is unique to that group. Perception of patterns is altered by varying the juxtaposition of hues and the order on which they are layered. What delights me are the unanticipated visual transformations that take place during the whole process and the final outcome.

Artist Profile
Hometown: Karachi
Based in: Karachi
I began my formal art training studying graphic design at the Fine Arts Dept. Punjab University, Lahore. Served the advertising industry for more than 30 years leaving in 2016 as a Creative Director Design at JWT, Karachi. Although I’ve been painting off and on during all this period but my full devotion and thrust in the work came from the day I departed the advertising world.
Since my school days geometry remained one of my favourite subjects. I have always been attracted to this form of art because of its main ingredient – the crisp and neat simple lines turning into unending magical formations. When I started out as an art student I was looking closely at the art, artefacts, and architecture of both western and non-western cultures. While living in Lahore, Pakistan – a city rich in culture and history I had all the opportunities to visit, see and feel attracted to the beauty of Islamic art, architecture and geometry in details. The simplified beauty of a single geometric form always allured me to create something exciting and different with a refreshing modern twist. In each of my paintings you'll come across a symmetrical, proportional and balanced arrangement of recognisable shapes coming together, generating a myriad of stunning designs that captivate the viewer with a kaleidoscope of visual interest. An interesting manipulation of vibrant colours and light makes my work pop out as a stunning piece of art.
