In RM Naeem’s Paintings, one finds the textural diversity, coloration and overall pattern of each exquisite piece, a signature element of the painting. The artist appears to meditate on aspects of life, each cameo a poem. Naeem’s brush strokes delicately define with gradient hues, creating a world of light and shade. Symbolic elements: water, mountains, paper boats, trees and organic life are joined by beautiful, sculpted heads with smooth, serene profiles. You can find RM Naeem’s paintings at Clifton Art Gallery Pakistan.
