His father had a masters degree in Mathematics but he did his Ph.D. in Education.
He has a masters degree in Physics but he did his Ph.D. in Education.
He was serving as a Reader in the Physics Department at AMU when he took voluntary retirement to pursue art as a profession.
Art was always there in him. He only started taking it seriously.
Here is an article from 2005 in Hindu. And here is his artwork.
This is called a collage. Basically cutting artistic figures from glossy magazines and pasting them with style. The original figures are heavily used but even then the amount of creativity that goes into it is enormous. A look at his work might give you the impression that even you can indulge in it. Well some of us may but most of us can not. Not everybody can cut an exquisite Buraq from Span. He has indulged in conventional paintings. He has painted the cover pictures for famous books, for example the pictures used on most of the books by Gyanpeeth awarded poet Sharyar are by him. He has dabbled in pottery. He maintains a garden that will give inferiority complex to the pseudo intelligentsia that goes by the name of high society.
He gets along famously with everybody except boring people. Javed Akhtar is his school mate from Minto Circle. (Those who are not Aligs for them Minto Circle is a school at AMU whose official name is STS High School or Sayyidina Tahir Saifuddeen High School. The list of alumni of that school is very impressive, for example, Janab Muhammed Hamid Ansari Sahab, the present Vice President of India is one of them.) Javed Akhar's son Farhan Akhtar is named after him. He is married to a very gracious lady Dr Fawzia Mujib who is a Reader in the Physics Section of Women's College. By now he is not an artist of national level but beyond. Here is another collage.
from Apparao Galleries-his main art handlers. Above pictures do no justice to his work. Some people have classified his collage work in miniature, which might or might not be the case, but photographic reduction misses the exquisite poetry of the composition. It can only be called composition for there is no painting in it.
Earlier the collages were full of nostalgia but that is receding now-in his own words.
You can read lots of art critiques' views about his work at various sites. For example here, here, here and here.
