ABDUL HAMID MOHAMED
A self-taught artist who paints as a hobby. Acrylic on canvas is his preferred medium though sometimes he does dwell in oils and water colors. He finds solace, happiness and calmness, as well as the freedom of expression in his works, which are motivated, and inspired by nature and the environment. “My works are expressions of my inner thoughts of what I see and what moves me, and the thinking that lies behind it. I use strong colors as the common denominator of my artworks. Experimenting with objects, materials, and adapting them is a way of bringing out art without boundaries and inhibitions.”
His works have been exhibited at several art exhibitions in the country over the last few years. A retired corporate man, he was also a professor in marketing, communications and advertising in a couple of leading universities in the country.
