Art & the Artist

Excellent Art, Bulbul. It narrrates. Keep it up.

Nazir Ahmed Bulbul is a very talented personality, excellent poet, outstanding painter, a dedicated teacher, a consistent hard worker in farming, a committed social worker and many more dimension of his personality, I hope his students can narrate what else he is.

To me he is a younger brother (cousin), whom I know from his childhood. He has an outstanding ability to express his thoughts in the form of poetry, paintings, plays, etc.etc.

I wish him all the best for his contributions to the society. I hope he is a role model for many of our youth.

Awesome!!!!!!
Nazir has always amazed us by his art and poetry, which truly is the expression of his inner self.
We are proud of you.

I am going to make some recommendations to include this art in our text books for the local culture in NCA.

Thank you PT for posting these portraits.

We may term Bulbul as a ‘Realist’ painter, a ‘ romanticist’ poet and a ‘constructivist’ teacher.

Nazir’s portraiture work including the ones, both single and group portrait, posted on this blog, is using brush stroke, costumes, colours and light in an eye-catching manner to set the scene for ‘story-telling’ in a typical wakhi house, ‘dildongben’. The facial expressions, eyes and body postures, literary was a ‘flashback’ for me, as if i was sitting there as listening to the story. I can feel, the warmth of sitting close to the fireplace in midnight and the kindness of the patronising giant poop, the height of pride, shock, happiness and sorrow in the story and the general darkness, and shades around in the house.

Probably he needs to be interviewed and posted on this blog about his techniques, materials used, philosophy of life and how he looks at things, mortal, immortal.

Nazir Bulbul is perhaps one of the pioneers among those who have choosen to express, relate and compprehend the realites of our cultural life in Hunza through the medium of art and paintings. The act of story telling has been around in our culture for centuries and it has always revitalised and reinforced the idea of brotherhood and family, and provided us with values that seek respect for the elders, love for the childern and fratenrity across all divides.

Lately there has been a slow shift taking place in our society with our younger generation drifting apart from our celebrated heritage. By portraying and reflecting on our traditions through the prism of artists like Bulbul we may hope to enhance confidence and pride in our own cultural values, and systems of thought and action.
