About the Artist:

Pakistani artist, born in Lucknow, Noor Haidri Nazar more popularly known as Noor Haidri spent 26+ years living and working in Saudi Arabia and now resides between Pakistan, & UAE.He has encyclopedic knowledge of classical music, poetry and art. These are the three important and precious elements of his life. After more than 40 years of professional life, he spends his life in painting in the form of oil and acrylic on Canvas. Exhibited in number of group art exhibitions and done numerous solo shows throughout the world. His artwork is based on Islamic calligraphy, Love and life , Music . He is fascinated by cubism and pointillism. These all fascinations are well reflected in his work. Haidri has always been a restless seeker – even now, when his youth is no longer with him, he thinks nothing of traveling to the UAE and pursuing his publisher. Not to speak of his numerous efforts to get this writer pen a few words for his book, Art Journey. This is surely a lesson in stamina, especially for those who have their youth with them. His constant search for the unique had an early start. He was part of the first batch of students studying at the art consulate of Karachi, Pakistan, in the 1960s. The students were shown and taught the styles of Picasso, DaVinci and other Europe- artists. “Music is art,” Haidri says. “It is considered the universal language for expressing feelings, sensations and m “Each musical instrument speaks its own language, displaying its own personality, with a unique spiritual effect felt only with the sense of hearing. “Similarly, art aims to spark emotion and feeling, taking different forms, from paintings to sculptures, with their own personality. It affects each viewer separately, through seeing.”

As every instrument in an orchestra, no matter how big or small, contributes to the overall experience through sound, a spectrum of colors is used in Haidri’s art to bind a targeted emotion, in any given painting. His favorite color is blue. He finds that it carries a wide array of shades, from the soothing connotations of blue waves to the aggressive nature of lightning. Haidri’s works present a world of meaning. Whether one wants to be soothed by music, energized by pointillism or turned reflective by calligraphy, his paintings are a one-stop- shop for sentiment. And they are best enjoyed when one gives himself up to the sweet sessions of silent thought.
