APP reported that Sherzada Khalid Iqbal’s journey into the world of art was as remarkable as his creations. Despite his professional background as a chartered accountant, Iqbal’s life took a transformative turn following a brain hemorrhage in 1997.
This pivotal event unlocked a portal in his mind, igniting an insatiable desire to paint. With colors streaming through his consciousness, Iqbal embarked on a creative exploration, delving into the intricate relationships between materials, aesthetics, and perceptions.
“We are delighted by the overwhelming response to Dances with Colors, an art exhibition,” said Director General of PNCA, M. Ayuob Jamali.
He highlighted the PNCA’s commitment to promoting cultural diversity and artistic expression, stating, “PNCA is honored to showcase the exceptional talent of Sherzada Khalid Iqbal and to provide a platform for artists to share their unique perspectives with the world.”
Khalid’s works were bold, bright, and expressed explosive movement. Layers of liquid enamel formed a shifting surface that appeared to be in a constant state of flux, juxtaposed in complex patterns.
