Personal

About Me:: Primarily I am a Fine Artist/Illustrator/Sculptor....by profession an Art/Visual/Creative Director/Producer...Hobbies, Violin Playing & Teaching.... None of works or job is bad or inferior;…As I believe, but those are obviously blessed, fateful and lucky ones who got their jobs as per their aptitude, dreams or wish…and fortunately I find myself one of them………. My birth, childhood and brought up till early teen age spent in a remote village of valleys of Kashmir (Pakistan). Where my eyes could saw the most fascinating and magnificent beauties of nature around me…lush green valleys, grassy fields, waterfalls, beautiful trees, forests, various kinds of birds and large scale hills…means there were extreme of beauty and aesthetics all around me…my grand parents were Kissan (farmers) and they were earning their living from agricultural means and a small no. of live stock…Parallel to all that beautiful things around me Almighty Allah (God) blessed me few more artistic capabilities like;…I was used to draw sketchy lines on the rocks, plant beautiful plants while doing in garden areas near water ponds and trails…play tunes on flutes while caring the goats grassing, in my younger age…so this is how I got my early inspirations and romances of life…… After early schooling in my native village, I migrated to city Rawalpindi/Islamabad (Pakistan)….and till secondary school beside my studies; I have been a regular member of School’s Visual and Performing Art Societies. I participated & achieved many prizes in painting and art competitions. Till then the Discipline of Graphic Design remain unknown for me, like I could never think it plays a vital role in one of the main industries of the world…or the use of fine arts in practical and most appreciated professions in the world and what are the roles of artist and art in the societies. But Now I often used to admire and get inspired of graphics and visual, while wandering on the roads of city looking on the roadside billboards, ad published in news papers, watching TV and movies in cinema houses...I used to wish for the works and jobs concerning these media while planning my future. Sometimes I used asked my elders to get information about these fields and professions but they could never guide me satisfactory because they were so simple remote villagers and also media industry was not so established and flourished those days in Pakistan… But it was my luck here, that by such a chance, I got into Graphics and Media Arts Profession. It came to me through one of my school teacher, who was teacher of Drawing/Fine Arts in my school where I studied till my SSC. One day, after I passed my SSC, I visited my school to see my teachers and my junior fellows…he asked me what I was doing?...when I went his class to see him, I replied nothing!...except a Certificate Course in Civil Draughtsman….Then, he offered me internship in his Graphics Arts studio where he was practicing part time after the school. I accepted and started going there… Here, I got the opportunity to know about the Graphic Arts/Design and media Industry Channels…I felt so exciting and lucky that moment that I was, now in the field which I always wished for. I started concentrating in the things, obtaining skills and knowledge about this industry. After completion of Civil Draughtsman Certificate I joined a well-known computer college to get training in more professional way by joining Diploma in Graphic Design and Multimedia Applications…parallel I joined a publishing and printing house…my first job as Graphic Designer in second shift. After passing my diploma and professional practice in the publishing company….It was, an open door for me now…. I worked for various advertising agencies and media house as Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Finished Artist. Parallel I kept on my professional education, to enhance my skills, and intellect levels, I got my degree in Fine Arts and Design from an Art College in collaborated with a University in Islamabad. Till then, I had become an Art/Creative Director…I did creative, design for various brands, multi-nationals, NGOs, UN…and so on…
