As a watercolourist I feel "Aqua in Soul" very deeply. I can purify my spirit through the transparency and luminosity of watercolours. I enjoy variety of subjects including different moods of weather, reflecting lights, rain, flowers, fog etc: I love to paint where nature leads me, my craving to explore nature, insists me to visit northern areas of Pakistan to paint scenic beauty very closely and deeply. But my primary focus is always on painting Walled City, as I am a keen observer of old architecture. I wander street to street to create strong bond with old, traditional buildings. I strongly believe that I can't create any piece of art without building deep connection between my soul, medium and subject. I Feel my soul flows owards my subject through Aqua.
