Literature Literature
Born in Amroha, India, Syed Sadequain Ahmed Naqvi was the pioneer of modern art in Pakistan and an internationally renowned critically acclaimed artist.
In this painting, the figures emerge from his distinct style of calligraphy, intertwining figures into lines, changing form to letters, where shapes shift effortlessly from one form to another, melting and evolving into another distinct symbol, suggesting reaching for a higher spiritual state. It tells the story of the Human Journey as seen through the prism of family.
