Abrar Ahmed

Size: 24 x 24 inches / 61 x 61 cm 

Medium: Oil on canvas 

Abrar Ahmed, a self-taught artist in the tradition of Sadequain and Gulgee, creates works that celebrate the romance of colour, texture, and form. Inspired by Urdu ghazals, his paintings often feel like visual poems—layered with emotion, history, and imagination.

His recurring muse is the elegantly adorned woman, often accompanied by birds or musical instruments, echoing the poetic grace of Mughal art and the romantic era of Emperor Jehangir. With bold colour, intricate patterns, and rhythmic detail, Abrar fuses the charm of classical miniature with contemporary flair—producing canvases that are at once timeless and striking.
