Artists

Art is a great medium of communication of human feeling and expressions, and the artists are the intellectual properties of each country.

Fortunately we have many Afghan artists living in Pakistan and carrying their professions in different aspects of fine arts: sculpture, painting and calligraphic masterpieces.

The cultural section of the embassy is engaged in supporting and promoting of such Afghan talents. One of the most prominent and renowned Afghan artist/painter is Mr. Ghulam Mohaiyuddin Shabnam Ghaznawi who is 73 years and still engaged in drawing and paintings. The book of "Afghan Refugee Artists" published in October 2002 by financial support of Dutch Embassy and UNESCO assistance is one of his literary works in Pakistan, exhibited in Islamabad in 2003. He is the Honorary Consultant to All-Afghan Artists Union and Unions Representatives in Pakistan.
