Amidst the serene Tehsil of Surankote, ensconced in the breathtaking embrace of the Poonch district, a visionary artist has been delicately weaving his dreams upon the canvas of reality. Umar Hasan, an autodidactic virtuoso emerging from the rich tapestry of the Pahari Ethnic group in Jammu and Kashmir, has dedicated the past half-decade to refining his artistry and infusing vitality into his imaginative tapestries.
Umar’s artistic voyage commenced after his early education at a local Government School. The brush and canvas became his tools of expression as he embarked on a remarkable journey that led him to embrace art as a lifelong companion. “Art has a unique way of speaking to people’s hearts and souls. It’s my way of communicating the unspoken emotions of the world,” Umar Hasan shared.Guided by the nurturing hands of a dedicated teacher from his hometown, Umar’s talent blossomed. “I will forever be grateful to my teacher who recognized my potential and guided me through the initial stages of my artistic pursuit. Their support ignited the spark that still fuels my creativity,” Umar reminisced. (ANI)
