The works of art are an enduring reminder of the beauty of creation of the creator and the beauty of the mind of the artist. That is what I found in these paintings of Mr. Shafique Farooqi.

Mr. Shafique Farooqi is fast approaching his living style. This is an exhibition of his art. He has elevated the calligraphy to art and brought it to a level of artistic spirit.

“The wisdom embedded in the Sufis of yore compels the mind to open its windows and door To find out how a circle begins or ends Or the angle at which A spiral descends”
Yousuf Salahuddin
“Shafique Farooqi’s work is phenomenal and inspiring. Sufism is something close to my heart. Many of our compatriots also believe in this brand of Islam,”
Noshi Kadir of Tanzara gallery
“Shafique Farooqi’s work has a distinctive flair that sets him apart from other artists. His paintings display an inherent spirituality; which makes the viewer pause and contemplate over their quietude and serenity. “More so than anything else, his work is decorative and pleasing to the eye,”
