Modern Art

My journey into modern art begins with a sense of freedom.

1. Wounded



2. We are all different



3. World Dance



4. Sharing colorful, crazy thoughts




Medium (for all the above): Acrylics on paper, 37x55cm.

The garden fairy & other women

1. Garden Fairy

She just appeared, and refused to leave.
And if I refused to paint her,
she would cast a spell over me.
Turning me into a tree, or a leaf,
or a flower.
I don't really mind,
But if that ever happenned,
I would never be able to leave.
To be myself again.
The garden fairy awaits you,
She is the reason why you lose your way.
Will she help you find your way back?

2. Red-faced woman

Don't mess around with the red-faced woman. She's got snakes on her head. She is not Medusa, but just a very angry woman!

3. Pregnant woman meditating


All paintings in acrylics on paper, 37x55cm.

Letting go...


Medium = acrylics on paper, 37x55cm.

It's not always easy to let go, the pain, the suffering, the tears, and the unfulfilled dreams.

Veiled women

There are many such women in my country, and they are beautiful!

1. Shy



2. Bride



3. Fully clothed




I am suddenly having this obsession about veiled women. Or is it just about the 'veil'. They're very beautiful ones, especially in South Asia.

I once visited a place called Quetta, in the southwestern part of Pakistan, in a province name Balochistan (it borders Afghanistan and Iran). The Balochs are a minority and are often marginalised. It's military rule and daily curfews as well.

The women are hardly seen but they stay at home and sew 'dopata' veils as colorful as these. They do it for months -sometimes it takes up to six months to complete one.

So every veil from that place has a story. A woman's story.

These are painted with acrylic on paper, 33x26cm.
