INKED FAITH is one of my most recent art works for a group Exhibition here at a Local Art Gallery In Karachi Pakistan.
I have painted it in somewhat Mughal Miniature technique where a single hair brush is used to render the surface.

Inked faith is an expression to the subcouncious and the councious .Memories and fantasies i had from time to time when i was painting this, i usually do not think of what i am drawing, i keep on moving filling the space, i belive what i am drawing already is existing in the space unkown unseen i only draw to see how it looks like in that intangiable space.
I paint with the influences of tattooes im studying nowdays, controversial,cultural,relegious social symbols,and they way they are made with the needle facinates me, i only choose to paint with the single hair brush for the literal idea of the way tattooes are made with tiny sharp needels .
My process to paint is very slow, gradually it grows from nothingness into something, this transformation of space i always relate with life, slowly we evolve ,into something we are not, or what we strive to be.
The process and the details are soo intricate i usually forget at times what i was painting and where i had to put the strokes or the dots with the tip of that tiny brush.
I have added all the making images for you people to understand how sometimes the art work evolves, please do share with your friends ,students ....
