Painting women, flora and fauna has fascinated artists since the stone age. Like in many other finds, the ancient caves of Lascaux in France, which date back almost 20,000 years, depict the human desire to portray living creatures and plants. On a similar note, Iqbal Durrani, a passionate painter for decades, has been intrigued with life forms and vegetation while his expression is pure empathy, the remarkable composition and color give his work a distinguished outlook
Durrani’s emotional affinity to the female form has pushed his expressive frontiers beyond contemporary realism into a domain of visual pleasure. In the manner which he interprets the torso of a woman, tends to engross the audience into a heavenly fantasy a mystic journey through subtle innuendos and vibrant nuances! It is the interactive characteristic of the artist’s spontaneous figures that delightfully but wordlessly connect the viewers to the paintings.
