SRINAGAR, DEC 31 (PTK): Abdullah Poonawala is from Pune living currently in Dubai in Srinagar but from last 4 years I am working in Dubai as a business person. I make sketches by order and sell it. He is a self-taught artist who is proud to be born as a Pune sketch artist.
He says, I started sketching from childhood. Today all the people know me because of my artwork.
He added that people encouraged me by their social media posts etc. Apart from being passionate about sketching I love to discover new things around.
From my childhood I have been taking part in various science competitions and had even bagged 1st position for my science model in 2010 in a state level competition in Pune.
He is a sketch artist (pencil artist and photo artist). His sketches are notable for their refreshing simplicity, vigorous treatment and pleasing color.
He says “Me and my pencil are Best-friends”. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth but I do believe there was a pencil in my hand. As a young child I could always be found drawing. I used to draw portraits of my friends and teachers while sitting on the back bench and fortunately never got caught.
Having no formal education in this field of art, I improve my art with every passing day. I believe art is about interpretation and creating art is about taking viewer to another place or time. Art tells us a story, with each viewer entitled their own vision. I believe my drawings allow viewer to see the color of their own imagination.
He added all my sketches are made on a normal chart paper and with simple pencil, all the shadings, darker and lighter effects I have given by my hands. I have no formal training nor I am any professional in this stream its just creativity runs in my blood. (PTK)
