Sheikh imran.
Anantnag, Apr, 02: Amir Firdous 20 years old sketch artist hailing from Jaglat Mandi main town of district Anantnag who is a self taught artist pursuing his bachelor’s degree.
During conversation Amir said ,that he had passion for art from childhood but than started painting again from 2020 where he started to make portrait sketches. A portrait painting or drawing depicts the image of a particular person or animal, or group thereof. The subject of a portrait is usually called a “sitter”, because traditionally people would sit in front of the artist to have their portrait painted. Nowadays, of course, artists can work from a photograph, so not everyone has to “sit” for a portrait.
He said that he had participated in many school level competitions where he had received prizes and certificates. He wanted to make sketching as his proffesion but is not getting that support. He is getting good family and friends support. He is trying his best to his talent forward.
There are many type of Artists in our kashmir but due to the lack of platforms we are unable to reveal it, as of now not a single artist from kashmir got chance to represent their art with the help of our administration or through our govt. Valley is full of talent just need to provide the formats so that they can made kashmir feel pround in the whole country as well as on international lavel.
Youth should keep their talent at the front. They should not listen to anyone who are creating hinderances in between.Youth should get indulge in activities may it be writing, painting, calligraphy, poetry, sports or any other field but should not get into wrong doings that would their lives and future too.
In every step of our life we have to compete with the time and world. it is the responsibility of parents to support the children’s so that they can change the mentality of our society. Criticism is on the peak here in our valley but if the parents will take back to their children’s there is no one after that who can dare to compete with the artists of kashmir. We hope that the talent of kashmir will get full support from our administration to motivate the youth of valley and help them to come out from all the problems and stress which the maximum youth of valley are facing.
