Mohamed was born on December 18th 1943 near a fishermens village
in the Kharadhar area of Karachi, Pakistan. He started painting
as a small child, as soon as he was able to hold a brush in
his hands. Painting has been his absolute passion throughout
his entire life. Mirza is truly one of the great artists of
our times. His unique style of painting can be described as
mystical. His colors are raw, vibrant and full of energy.
Mirza captures in his paintings the mystical area of human existence,
which is between the real world and the unseen world. The world
that we are all subconsciously aware of and can relate to intuitively.
A world that borders around the fringes of surrealism and fantasy.

he feels. In addition to canvas and paper he has made an extensive
use of other mediums such as wood, glass, ceramic and metal
for his work.
