I am passionate about all of Natures beauty which is a wonderful creation of the Almighty and in my art work I try to re-create Natures beautiful gifts, which is why I enjoy painting mainly landscapes and anything where I feel nature is present. My working media is Acrylic on Canvas. I also use water colour & pastel. I'm a self taught artist who always likes new challenges and I'm a believer that great artwork is something of inner beauty, meaningful visual poetry and has a story of its own. Also every piece of work is an art. It doesn't matter who is creating it and what is the outcome. I have been painting as a hobby but now I am considering to be regular artist and have enjoyed the arts world since I was a child. My painting career is not so long....when I was in Class 4 at school; I was encouraged by my dearest Mum to get admission into painting school at BAFA, where I was a student for 3 years learning watercolour and pencil sketching, entering a few art competitions and BTV programs like "Notum Kuri" and the Russian Art Festival at Dhaka Museum, since then my painting skills have been slowly but surely developing Due to study commitments I had to stop painting for a short while but now I'm back again to my artwork with a passion and still consider myself to be a learner. Everyday I'm learning new things and I believe learning never ends. Thanks Zakia Hossain ~ Sydney Website: http://zakiahossain.webs.com
