About the Artwork +

In this evocative Kashmiri Paper Mache artwork by Riyaz Khan, Omar Khayyam is depicted in a tranquil, deserted landscape that showcases a rich Persian influence with lush vegetation, including trees and shrubs, set against the backdrop of a majestic masjid. The composition captures a serene moment where Khayyam, casually seated, is approached by a young prince in regal attire. The prince, dressed in elaborate garments befitting his status, carries a large bowl, adding a layer of narrative to the scene.

The setting, with its verdant greenery and the imposing masjid, conveys a sense of historical grandeur and cultural depth. Omar Khayyam’s relaxed posture and the scattered bowl and utensils around him suggest a recent meal or a casual encounter, emphasizing a moment of ordinary life juxtaposed against the backdrop of the prince’s arrival. The scene reflects a blend of opulence and simplicity, highlighting the contrast between the prince's formal approach and Khayyam’s serene, unassuming demeanor. This artwork beautifully captures a slice of historical dialogue and cultural exchange, using the rich textures of Kashmiri Paper Mache to bring this poignant moment to life.

Riyaz
Riyaz Ahmed, born in Srinagar, Kashmir, in 1972, is a renowned Kashmiri paper mache artist who has mastered the art of working with recycled paper. With a deep passion for his craft, Riyaz's sculptures intricately portray traditional Kashmiri costumes, jewelry, and architecture, as well as mythical creatures from Kashmiri folklore. For Riyaz, art is not just a creative expression, but also a source of peace ("Sukoon"). His sculptures reflect the natural beauty of Kashmir, painted with vibrant colors that breathe life into his creations. Through his work, Riyaz seeks to preserve and promote the rich culture and history of Kashmir, inspired by the influence of Mughal miniature painters and the Islamic art tradition. Beyond his artistic endeavors, Riyaz is also a philosopher who advocates for unity and rejects the establishment of differences. He also discusses the futility of establishing differences, citing a Bengali incident from his stay in Kolkata. 'Sabka jawab, Howrah jaana hai janab, sabse poocho kidhar jaana hai.' 'Ab koi plane se ja raha hai, koi car se, koi train se, aur koi chal ke- par pahunchenge, sabhi Howrah hi na!' (When you ask anyone where you want to go, they all respond Howrah. Someone is flying, someone is driving, someone is taking the train, and someone is walking, but they are all headed to the same spot! For him, this incident symbolizes the futility of divisions in society. Riyaz's talent has earned him international recognition, with his sculptures being exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide. Notably, he has received accolades like the National Award for Excellence in Folk Art from the Government of India, the Award of Merit from the World Crafts Council, and a Special Mention from the Prince Claus Fund. As an artist and part philosopher, Riyaz Ahmed's work stands as a tribute to the beauty and heritage of Kashmir, leaving an indelible mark on the art world and inspiring young artists in his homeland and beyond.
