Artist

My name is Haider Ali. I am 16 (17 in December) years old. I live in Pakistan although I was born and bred in Dubai, U.A.E. Only recently have I shifted over to Pakistan. Art has always a passion of mine ever since I saw my first de Vinci. Since that day art is fascinated me and all that have been around me have suggested I take up this field. At the moment of course I am young, yet still I know that by this age Picasso had filled a gallery! That is why I've taken up Computer Graphics, well I need to start somewhere. This seemed as the best option at hand.

Through my art I wish to portray a message. A message of my past, my present and hopefully my future. I don't know if you can understand what my paintings portray but for me each one has a deep thought. It's just like JFK said.

Quote:

We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), October 26, 1963

All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

Art is not living. It is a use of living. The artist has the ability to take that living and use it in a certain way, and produce art.
Audre Lorde

Each and every painting, scenary, portrait tells a story, a story that is so true to life not everyone understands it. If you do understand it, then you know why the artist painted it. If you don't it's a mystery forever. And to figure that one mystery can make all the difference.

I'll leave the documentry aside and tell you more of me. The following has been quoted from my profile

I enjoy a lot of normal stuff people my age like. But mostly I love working on Adobe Photoshop. Nothing beats it, Macromedia eat your heart out this is the Goliath of Graphics! I can make some mean things with this software, don't believe me well then just hop on over to my Portfolio! Other than Photoshop I also have some expertise in the following:

• » Adobe ImageReady
• » Adobe Illustrator
• » Adobe InDesign
• » Adobe GoLive
• » Adobe LiveMotion (bring it back!!)
• » Macromedia Dreamweaver
• » Macromedia Freehand
• » Macromedia Fireworks
• » Macromedia Flash (not too good at it though)
• » HTML/XHTML
• » Cascading Style Sheets
• » PHP (working on it)
• » JavaScript (needs some work)
• » Corel Bryce
• » Corel/Pro Create Painter

Well that is all I need to say here, yet still if you'd like to know more I have a detailed information page on my website. You can view it here if you like.
