Sumbel Sajid

Artist Statement
Two of my great passions are travelling and painting. I have been interested in art & artists throughout my life. Basically I am an oil painter but I did not limit myself to one medium, style or subject. As I believe in inspirations, ideas, expressions and emotions which always keep changing with time. Different mediums, styles and subjects allow me to express my changing moods. In fact I do paint what I love and I do love what I paint.
Currently I am deeply in love with watercolour medium to capture the movement of nature. There is no going back & correcting when painting with watercolour on paper. This way of spontaneous painting provided me with a freedom of experiment & expression to explore more and more techniques. I applied my experimental exploration on various subjects. Such as landscapes, figurative, still life, floral, sea scape and architectural. Currently I am enthusiastically painting scenic beauty which I captured during my visit of hilly areas of heavenly north of Pakistan named Kashmir.
