Nazim is a fine artist of over 30 years using traditional methods to create art. Drawing and painting form the basis of his practice in the pursuit of realizing his artistic vision. The multi-various themes explored in his art are derived from observations made to stimulate the imagination. His subject matter includes responses to nature, the human figure, sport, performing arts, poetry, and mythology. Many of the animals depicted in his work seem to embody a human essence, derived somewhat from the shamanism of Native American and Turkic tribes. As an artist, Nazim is constantly exploring the museums and galleries on two continents, noting and studying the old Masters, such as Michelangelo, Rubens, Caravaggio, Rodin, as well as the modern greats like Degas or Winslow Homer. Being a trans-Atlantic cultural commuter, Nazim gains access to the British Museum and National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA in New York City, the Getty and LACMA in Los Angeles, and The Louvre and Muse Rodin in Paris. The numerous solo and group shows Nazim has had in London and the USA have allowed collectors to acquire unique works of art by this original artist. Among the many commissions Nazim has had, the work created for the eminent actor, playwright, and director, Steven Berkoff, and actress and leading holistic author, Celeste Yarnall, has been outstanding. |
