Meet the incredible artist of Lyari

Art, whether in the form of sketching, painting, sculpturing art, or otherwise, can serve as a mean of expressing emotions, such as happiness or sadness.

Actually art arises from hardships and becomes the source of message of peace and harmony to the world. Sometimes art contains the hope for hopeless and sometimes it becomes the voice of voiceless. Sometimes art speaks itself means it contains hidden massage to the people but Art is valued by those who has some relationship with art.

Let’s meet an incredible artist from Lyari named Mahanoor Ishaq, who has been inspiring us through her art work.

According to Mahanoor “She got formal art training from a studio for half a year, later she left it because of her studies, her teacher Abdul Wahid guided her a lot, he made her learn how to use pen, before that she didn’t know how to use it. She paid attention to each stroke and tried recreating it as soon became quite good art at the end.

Further she said “I mainly focus on my studies but I practice art at every Saturday and Sunday normally. These lockdown days are beneficial for me to do art work, I spent hours at self-teaching and practicing till I become one of the best.

In her views, Art is our feelings and imaginations, what she believes is; we can convey our thoughts, imaginations and feelings out of art. It is the only skill from which we can express everything to the world.

She said that art is her passion but thinking about why not to make it business.

Once I saw her, she was standing lonely in the corridor and kept silent and shy I didn’t suppose herself a very pretty artist because she never showed off her talent as people mostly do even when their talent equals zero.

She is student of English Literature and an extraordinary passionate and talented individual, being an artist she has keen observation of things around us. What she sees through her eyes, she expresses those through her art. She is a bibliophile and have a strong passion of reading books. Either history, politics, philosophy, literature or poetry.

That’s why it is my obligatory that I should introduce those big guns who are doing wanders in the shape of pencil sketch, sculpture art, charcoal art, oil painting, water colour painting, acrylic painting, calligraphy and etc.

Her message to the youngsters is; Well! those who are interested in art and they think that it is tough, do believe me it is not as hard as you think, if you keep on practicing and taking it seriously then you can be a good artist. No matter you are making perfect or not! Don’t think about that, just go on and do whatever you want and remember! An artist never lives with fear and continues art without quitting because if you give up, you lose.
