Altaf, though primarily preoccupied with subject over technique, shows skilful use of line and colour. In this work, intricate doodles, wave-like patterns and solid bands of blue are rendered with meticulousness. Amidst this tapestry, a disproportionately sized figure emerges featuring a small head and a startled expression, evoking a sense of entrapment. Ever the philosopher, the artist invites the viewer to contemplate the human condition. His interest in the depths of socio-political issues is poignantly conveyed, compelling viewers to delve into themes of existence, mortality, and the complexities of our world. This complex portrayal of existence also calls for a nuanced analysis of human experience.
