Lahore, the very earth of my birth, is the vein of my existence; my work, its living spirit. The Historic Walled City (Androon Lahore), with its soaring, magnificent architecture, whispers of a glorious past. Yet, it is the dwindling, weary facades and the labyrinthine pulse of daily life that compel me most-a magnificent, fragile memory demanding immediate witness. I am driven to capture and consecrate this essence before it fades into the silent register of history.
My painting is a simplified, urgent expression-a direct and unburdened message aimed at the heart of this long-ignored cultural crisis. My canvas is a tribute, a profound act of homage to the city that not only cradled my dreams but forged the very architecture of my creativity. The enormous debt I owe is rendered in every stroke, every opportunity it has provided to stimulate my artistic voice.
Lahore is not merely a place on a map; it is the sacred wellspring of my inspiration-my eternal Muse.
