PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
I am an enthusiastic emerging new media visual artist, equipped with an academic foundation and over 30 years of my professional experience. I continued to pursue the study of new visual art disciplines simultaneously, and my art articles reflect the outcome of my efforts.
Visual Art: I participated as a performance artist in the main performance of artist Dhali Al Mamun's Long Road painting art project on the occasion of World Language Day (February 21, 1997) in Chittagong in order to stay involved in the fine arts research practice from the very beginning of my creative artistic practice. However, in 1997, I participated in an environmental art research project at Chittagong. I co-organised an exhibition with a friend at the Fine Arts Faculty's Zainul Gallery in Dhaka University in 2001. I've already taken part in a lot of the nation's competitive national and international standards exhibitions. Eventually, I curated two solo visual art exhibitions of my largest research projects, “Data / Desire / Divinity” and “Discourse on Flight and Fall," in 2026 and 2023, and the audience responded favorably.
Art Writer: I have dedicated myself as a visual art researcher. As I deepen my understanding of visual art, I occasionally write articles on the history of visual art criticism and my insights into various discourses surrounding visual art. It ignites me to foster my interest and passion for art and research in addition to my art practice.
