Nasir Response to Contact Sheet "What inspired you to start painting?"

"Actually I wanted to be involved into painting out of grammar in early 60s. But poverty does not allow me to connect. I started portrait photography... it was very expensive! To see the inner beauty of 'portraitism' empty darkness enthralled me. Since then I was a believer of hand-made artworks, it was in my "heart-disk". Kept my internal psychedelic thoughts for decades, let them sleep... Now having time it is giving me pressure to birth. Self-portrait is a true love for any artist. It remains the art & times of a creative. Darkness is the source of light. Peace."
