Abrar Ahmed
Artist Statement Abrar freely delves into the romance of classic miniature painting, and fuses contemporary styles with stunning results. One discovers ethnic pattern s, diverse textures and explosions of color that are breathtaking. The artist’s subject, a bejeweled and gracefully draped woman, is often the center of a composition that includes a musical instrument or birds for company are familiars and obviously important to the sinuous forms that dominate the brilliant coloration and powerful textural interest of their settings. Abrar’s work may be interpreted on historical or philosophical levels yet it it is also the work of an imaginative mind and a deeply feeling creative individual. The artist related that his work is inspired by Urdu ghazals that are described as a poetic expression of the pain of separation from a loved one, certainly in Abrar’s work it appears that every painting is poem.
