About this artwork
This still life is a glimpse into my studio and the way I work. Every object in the scene is something I use while painting, though nothing is in its original packaging. A Coke bottle holds my medium, a Pringles can becomes a container for brushes, and a whisky bottle is repurposed for solvents.
For me, these substitutions say something about human behaviour — how we adapt, reuse, and reshape the things around us to fit our needs. The painting is… not only a portrait of my tools, but also a quiet reflection on resourcefulness, habit, and the small improvisations that become part of daily life in the studio

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From early childhood, I was instinctively drawn to drawing and painting, exploring form, colour, and emotion long before I had the words to describe them.
Although I formally studied art between 1989 and 1992, and had the rare privilege of training as a disciple in the studio of the legendary Jamil Naqsh, I still consider myself a self‑taught artist at heart. My artistic language has grown through constant experimentation, personal exploration, and an unbroken commitment to my craft.
I have been painting professionally for over three decades, developing a body of work that reflects both discipline and intuition — a balance shaped by tradition yet driven by my own evolving vision
