Thari in Red

S.A.Noory is a self-taught artist. Initially inspired and learnt by my grand father, who studied miniature paintings in India. He went to art schools but the style he paints, is entirely his which discounts the formal and traditional study of painting. Certainly, what he likes to paint is just a natural outflow of what he likes to see. It can be a Sufi “Saint” who is lost in love of Almighty,… It can be children and a Rajasthani females with Their unique dresses and ornaments etc. His works are miniature paintings.He plays with paints and brush to create accurate and finest details in miniatures.Noory captures the delicacy of line, rhythm of colour combinations with transparency, perfect use of light and shadow and smooth curves in shapes of still life to follow perfect facial expressions and the ambiance.
