The Garden of Eden by artist Akbar Hafeez
This artwork depicts the expression of a female portrait in a very dreamlike state
This painting “Garden of Eden” is an outstanding work of artist Akbar Hafeez. The women painted in the traditional style of the subcontinent with captivating facial expressions. Their expressions hold the gaze of the viewers for a long time, thanks to the cat-like eyes that he paints. These eyes are given hues like greenish-yellow or copper, which only adds to the attractiveness of the art. These powerfully expressive facial features of the women are usually composed with the addition of birds, fruits, water, and trees etc. to create stunning and cohesive compositions.
