Except that the land that is scaped is more an aspect of an inner geography, rather than an external location. There is no representation, though there are leaves, shapes, points, dark areas, and patches of colour. The familiar recedes and the wholly unfamiliar is not allowed to surface. Siraj has had several solo exhibitions in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chandigarh and Indore, and participated in group shows around India and Japan. His paintings are a part of the collections of the Gallery Kyo-E-Gama, Japan, Gangcey, Srilanka, and many collectors from Australia, France, New Zealand, etc. Read Less Born January 30, 1974   Mhow, Madhya Pradesh Education 1996 Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Government Institute of Fine Arts, Indore Exhibitions Selected Solo Exhibitions 2007 ‘Nishabd’, Reflections Art...
