Onaiz Taji

​

(b. 1991) graduated in Miniature Painting from National College of Arts, Lahore, in 2016. While he was studying Indo-Persian miniature he was inspired by the qalam thereby exploring the technique of the brush and pushing each stroke to its limit. The line is important in his work as he views it as the defining characteristic of the people in his pieces. In the macro sense the placement of the figures deeply affects the mood of every piece and characterizes newer aspects to look at, upon viewing the work each time. The artist associates his relationship with the individual subjects and mob mentality as the core area and source of inspiration for developing his imagery.
