Past Works

Ziaur’s work celebrates motion and strength through acrylic, oil, charcoal, pastel, ink, watercolour, and mixed media. Inspired by nature’s speed—bulls, horses, even monsoon rains—his paintings tap into raw vitality and resilience. He once said, “When I feel down, drawing bulls and horses helps me stand up,” using these dynamic creatures to symbolize inner speed and emotional recovery . His bold use of red and black tones underscores the fierce energy within his subjects .
