Pakistani artist Murad Khan Mumtaz uses his training in the art of Indian miniature painting to create these beautiful scenes depicting bits of traditional culture as they fade away in our contemporary materialistic landscape. Keeping with traditional practices, Murad paints on a canvas of wasli paper, which is prepared by glueing sheets together with flour paste and then burnished with either a smooth glass ball or sea shell. Burnishing crushes any grain leaving a shiny, smooth finish.
