Jamil Naqsh born. 1938 Jamil Naqsh grew up In an environment that nurtured and encouraged crea2vity. This s2mula2ng environment le` an indelible mark on the mind of the young Jamil Naqsh, and encouraged to paint, he soon chose his voca2on. A simple man at heart, Jamil Naqsh has stayed strongly in touch with his primal roots all the while being aware of the dynamic world around him. Bridging both worlds with no seeming contradic2on, he is both a modern expressionist and a tradi2onal miniaturist. Pain2ng for the past 38 years, Jamil Naqsh has handled a vast variety of themes including land and seascapes. Later, over the years, he gravitated towards his four preferred themes: prajna paramita, horses, nudes and pigeons. Being true to his calling in life: pain2ng, he can work in bursts of up to 18 hours a day. Earning a reputa2on of being a recluse he dwells in a self created environment that let's him submerge completely into crea2ng excep2onal pieces of art.

Prof. Saeed Akhtar born: 30 Oct,1938 Saeed Akhtar is well known, dis2nguished man of the arts, a former na2onal college of the Art Professor, who began his art training as one of Shakir Ali's early students in the six2es. Saeed akhtar became Pakistan's foremost portrait painter credited with 1000 portraits of the Quaid-‐e-‐Azam. For a military parade held in 1988, the ar2st created a portrait, 66 feet high of the Quaid-‐e-‐Azam, which he assembled by pukng together one hundred and fi`y 4x4 feet. Painted pieces. In recent years, he has been much acclaimed for his pain2ngs of horses, the dazzling “Buraq” series, and a series that combined brilliant draughtsman ship with fantasy, with beau2ful, bejeweled and slender female figures. These were no earthly maidens their world was exo2c, bright with flowers, bumerflies and bird. His intense analysis of space volume endows his work with a three dimensional aspect, a reference perhaps to his years as a sculptor.
