In the cycle of life, a man goes through several quests. Everyone seeks relief, whether one is happy or unhappy. Art is the medium of expressing thoughts, and each artist has his own unique way of expression. Sakib has tried to manifest his thoughts and observations through pen and ink. Through his work, he has tried to bring out many aspects of human emotions like hope, excitement, innovation and survival. He loves to see life through the old man's eyes. He tries to comprehend why nature and human beings coincide and collide at the same time. He also sees the beauty in not just remote places but also in his surrounding, in his own city Dhaka and tries to capture them and keep them alive through the strokes of his pen.
Nazmus Sakib wants to capture this fight for existence, possibilities and beauty in a unique way. Time may change the world we are living in today but these paintings to become the token of stories from the past, he wants to stop time in his paintings. He wants these paintings to be the chronicles of the survivors, struggles, possibilities, beauty, and dreams in our everyday life. This dream that one day the world we are living in will become a heaven as his motivation suggests.
Nazmus Sakib was born in Jessore and grew up in Dhaka. He completed his Honours and Masters from the Department of Graphics Design, Dhaka University. Sakib likes to draw realistic paintings and this medium gives him the advantage of adding fine details to his paintings.
