Nazim, born in London in 1963 has been an artist for over 30 years. | ||
|
He was awarded AIR status by the Florence Trust in 1995. | ||
|
He earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree with distinction from Winchester School of Art in 1983-86. | ||
|
His earliest training was in 1981-82, completing a foundation course in Art and Design at Middlesex Polytechnic. | ||
|
As an artist whose work is informed by the techniques and traditions of the Old Masters such as Michelangelo, Rodin and Rubens, Nazim studies constantly. He conducts ongoing research within major museums and art galleries on two continents, including: London's Tate, National Galleries and the British and Victoria & Albert Museums, Paris' The Louvre, Muse D'Orsay and Muse Rodin and New York's Metropolitan, Whitney, Guggenheim and Modern Museums. | ||
|
Nazim's work captures the spirit and energy of the late 20th and early 21st century by painting such subjects as mythology, wildlife, sports and performing arts. Many of Nazim's animals seem to have a human essence combined with their animal nature (a nod to Shamanic ritual and the poetic visions of such romantic mystics as William Blake, Rilke, and Octavio Paz). | ||
