Naqsh,Pakistan’sdistinguishedmodernmaster,wasborn inKairana,UttarPradeshinIndiain1939.Despitehavinga largefamily,Naqshprefersspendingtimealone.Hewasa manwholivedforhisart;hespentallthetimehecould painting,forhoursatastretch,seldomleavinghome,and withasenseofurgency.Anavidreader,hisbooksserved asthefoundationsofhislifelongcuriositywithartand aesthetics.
Hisjourneyfromayoungboytothemasterhebecamewas enduring,startingduringtheemergenceofPakistanin 1947.Aswithalotoffamiliesduringthattumultuous period,Jamil'sfamilygotseparatedandwhilehereached Pakistanwithhisolderbrothers,theywereneverreunited againwithhisfatherwhowasleftbehind.Raisedwithout parentstoguideandprovide,hefacedhardshipand struggleearlyinlifebutremainedsteadfastandpositivein thefaceofadversities.

Naqshremainedintrinsicallyafigurativepainter throughouthiscareer;thehumanformgavehimthe greatestaestheticsatisfaction,andhisgeniusinfocusing onasinglesubjectandrecreatingitinavarietyofforms wasindisputable.Bythemid-60s,Naqshhadevolveda distinctivepersonalstyle.Thefemaleformbecamea leitmotif,juxtaposedwithpigeonsinaninspiredcoupling.
