I would like to introduce myself as an abstract painter. However, as an artist my background is in realistic painting. I received my under graduate degree in Drawing and Painting at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I worked realistically in pencil, pen and ink, watercolor, and oil color. In my post-graduate program for MFA at the same school I started to break forms and tried to come out from realistic images. After schooling in Bangladesh, I came to New York and went to an art school, named the Art Students League of New York. There I was inspired to work in the abstract expressionist style
 

It is known that after Second World War, New York replaced Paris as the center of the art World and the Art Students League made a significant contribution towards building Abstract Expressionism. During my under graduate work at Bangladesh I mainly worked having the ‘Indian flavor’. But when I was completing my masters at Lehman College, CUNY I started working on Abstract Expressionism. I practiced this trend of my own for my masters. After coming to New York I was moved by the work of Jackson Pollock. His works inspired me a lot to choose my style. Actually I like Jackson Pollock’s freeness of work, William de Kooning’s line and Hans Hoffman’s color.
 
In my painting I want to put my emotion. I try to translate my dreams, my feelings of love, inner torments, hungers, struggles, pain and pleasure, issues of socio-political events, and inter-personal conflicts, even sensuality. I was born and raised in Bangladesh, all my dreams and aspiration are related to that country.On the other hand, as an immigrant I am in a new cosmopolitan milieu, a world of different cultures and people. Now I crave to mingle these two separate worlds artistically
