My life through the years

From my early days, the lush countryside of Bangladesh was my playground, and the vibrant colors of nature became my fascination. My restless spirit was always drawn to the outdoors, where nature’s palette and the intricate hues it offered fascinated me deeply from a young age. As a restless child, my energy was often channeled into exploring the outdoors and engaging in various sports activities. Little did I know that my true calling would lie in capturing these captivating scenes through art.

Back in school, whenever the blackboard called for illustrations, I was the one my friends would turn to, the designated artist of the classroom. It became a common sight in our classroom, as I happily assisted teachers in illustrating various concepts during science classes. The world beyond the windowpane always captivated me during lectures, and I often found myself daydreaming by the window, sketching scenes from the world outside as the lectures went on.

I vividly recall spending countless hours sketching onto my notebooks, meticulously capturing human figures and the landscapes that my gaze fell upon. Nights before science exams, my friends would flock to me, seeking my talent to draw diagrams from their science books. It was during these moments that I began to realize the potential of my artistic abilities.

As I progressed through my studies, my passion for art continued to flourish. My journey into the world of fine arts truly began when, upon the advice of my friends, I decided to pursue a career in this field. With little knowledge of painting at the time, I took a leap of faith and enrolled in the department of Fine Arts. It was here that my innate talent flourished.

The world of art opened up before me, and I eagerly delved into various mediums, from watercolors to oils to sketches, and honed my skills through hours of practice and observation. I became a devoted student of nature, often spending hours observing people at railway stations and bus stands, studying the intricacies of human form and movement. My dedication to learning and honing my craft allowed me the privilege of receiving hands-on guidance from Nisar Hossain, Rashid Amin some of the country’s most renowned artists.

Through the years, I’ve come to realize that painting is not just a vocation, but a way of life. It’s a constant exploration of color, form, and emotion that allows me to translate the beauty around me into captivating works of art.
