Artist's Statement
"A point with a point" - A point is an element of basic visual design through which an image is formed. That image is connected to the thoughts of the painter. Since childhood I have been associated with Rickshaw Art which embodies the philosophy of the connection of points. We see one point connecting to the other creating a line. The same way the three primary colors create the color wheel. The color wheel in turn creates various tones through which beautiful images emerge.
Bill-board, Truck Art and Rickshaw Art painters use enamel paints in their work. I still remember the time when I used the lid of enamel paints as a color palette. I have used my background and my deep rooted influences as an inspiration for these paintings. The method is the same - enamel lid and primary colors.

He has worked as a Cinema Board, Truck and Rickshaw painter with Ustad Bhola, Ustad Shamsheir, , Ustad Yameen, late Ustad Asghar Ali, Rickshaw painters and Sir Fatah Hale Poto in Hyderabad.
