My Favorite: S.H. Raza


For me, owning a Raza would be a dream come true. He is my favorite Indian artist for his use of dramatic, yet, complimentary colors in Westernized (he is settled in France) calming expressions. From these 4 paintings alone, you can notice a clear shift in Raza's art from his earlier days to his more recent works.

  2. Sayed Haider Raza is a famous landscape painting artist. He believes that everything has a source of energy and everything revolves around it and all his paintings show the same. Worked mainly in acrylic and oil, his paintings had a heavy usage of colors. You can find art collection of S. H. Raza at Indian Art Ideas.
