*From Pain to Paintings*
I embarked on a creative journey to honour our “Unsung Heroes” through the art by giving our Heroes an eternal life s face:” Over the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to painting and researching on the subject of forgotten national heroes. The last two years have been particularly difficult due to the loss of my beloved brother, who had supported my artistic endeavours from providing art supplies to paying my school fee shaping who I am today! Despite the hardships, painting became a source of solace and healing, allowing me to transform my “Pain into Paintings”.
Through my work, I’ve explored the lives of these figures. Each of these heroes has imparted valuable lessons: Shah Abdull Lateef taught me to be an observer,
Makhdoom Bilawal inspired me to stand up for myself, Mai Jindo exemplified
justice, Sohni encouraged rebellion, Momal showed patience, Leela represented regrets, Sassui embodied struggle, Nori demonstrated intelligence, Marui reflected patriotism, and Sorath highlighted character. Every character has inspired me in a different innovative way, I have gained profound insights into self-awareness,
patience, peace, love, bravery, humanity, kindness and the concept of a meaningful life through their stories.
The idea for this project arose during the COVID-19 pandemic amid global
uncertainty and lockdowns. I launched a campaign to pay tribute to both forgotten and celebrated Heroes of Pakistan. I streamed the creation of these portraits live on the social sites which received an overwhelmingly positive response, attracting millions of viewers.
My series has been featured widely in both national and international media, and I have now completed portraits of one hundred heroes, dedicating my resources and passion to this tribute.
My work from this series is totally an evolution of an artistic genre. I have started a little idea to pay tribute to our “Unsung Heroes “which became a meaningful cause for me to preserve a great history to connect the generations with inspiration from the real heroes.
I feel Art is the only medium through which we can preserve civilization's history. We can use Art as a revolutionary purpose to make the world a better place.
