ISLAMABAD, May 2 (APP):An exhibition of paintings exploring nature and positivity is continued to attract art and nature lovers here till May 4 at Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA).
The Visual Arts Division of PNCA displayed the exhibition “Pensive Nature” by Dr Masooma Abbas reflecting artist’s contemplative nature which she expresses through her indigenous natural surroundings in rich acrylic tones.
The artwork aims to generate positivity in the society by bringing it close to the beauty and intellectual content of nature. People from different walks of life visited the show.
“My work is based on keen natural observation that involves philosophical understanding of its usual and unusual settings. It is a personal experience gained through nature’s introspective contemplation that has evolved into a subjective language.
Sometimes subtle glimpses convey emotional states and often phenomenon of life is sought in the natural surroundings,” artist says about her work.
“Pensive Nature” is a reflection of her spiritual contemplative nature drawing her closer to the Creator through natural meditation and further opening intellectual avenues that are most often ignored.
Hence, bright acrylic colors and natural elements become symbolic and verbal. The art work aims to bring the viewer in close proximity to nature and its Creator that is also a stimulant in generating positivity in the society, she said.
Dr. Masooma Abbas is a Visual Artist, Research Scholar and Art Historian with 20 years of teaching experience in Art History and Studio Practice.
