Pain/Cry (2006) Painting by Aijaz Qaisar

I have always wanted, since I attained consciousness, to give expression to my feelings. Reflecting over the bygone years, I remember as a kid, aspiring to articulate deeply felt emotions – and painting is the medium that made it easy! And since, have constantly strived to evolve, attaining a higher level with each canvas I painted. As the saying goes, “A picture speaks a thousand words,” I find painting to be the most powerful medium of expression, as an artist is not restricted to any set standards or rules.

Originally, hailing from Kashmir. I left the mesmerizing valley of beauty and peace in 1990 just before it lost peace and all human rights and values were infringed.

I have a Masters's Diploma in Advanced Graphic Arts from CDAC, Pune, India, besides securing a Master's in Mass Communications from Symbiosis, Pune, India.

A self-taught artist, I have been working with lines and colors since adolescence. A deep passion for art has been driving my career toward Mass Communications with a special focus on Visual Communications. I started my professional career way back in 1996 with an advertising company as a Visualiser and very soon ascended to be the Creative Head. And since have been contributing to media production.

I am an artist with varied expressions and styles, I have done a lot of impressionistic work on subjects like landscapes, Figurative, Abstract, and Portraits in both Oil and water mediums.
