About

I am an Indian national, a resident of the UAE, and a graduate of Al-jamea-tus-Saifiyah, an Islamic Arabic educational academy. I have been blessed with the honor of memorizing Al Quran al Majeed, a journey that has deeply shaped my perspective on life and art.

 

Currently, I serve in an administrative role at Badri Mahal Mahad al-Zahra, where I contribute to the institute’s mission of Quranic learning and preservation. Alongside my professional responsibilities, my passion for art continues to be a driving force in my life.

 

My Art Philosophy

 

Art, for me, is more than just technique or aesthetics—it is a language, a form of storytelling that captures emotions, concepts, and reflections. My work primarily focuses on realism with meaning, using graphite, charcoal, and colored pencils to tell deeper stories. Whether it’s wildlife art, human portraits, or socio-political commentary, my goal is always to make the viewer pause and think.

 

I believe that every subject I draw carries a narrative. This philosophy was evident in my portrait of Ali Abdaal, a project that was more than just capturing likeness—it was an exploration of identity, passion, and personal growth. The piece reflects how individuals, through knowledge and perseverance, evolve over time.

 

Similarly, my Capitalism Series is an ongoing exploration of modern society’s struggles—consumerism, freedom, and identity. One of my most recognized pieces from this series features a caged bird with its last feather escaping, symbolizing the lure and entrapment of materialism. Another piece, Capitalist Joke, takes inspiration from absurdities in consumer culture, questioning the value we place on objects versus ideas. My current project in this series focuses on nature, illustrating plants intertwined with barcodes to depict how commercialization exploits the natural world.

Looking Ahead

 

Each drawing is a journey—an attempt to translate the seen and unseen into a visual experience. Whether it’s a hyper-realistic portrait or a conceptual piece that critiques societal norms, my art is always about telling a story.
