Aziz (born 1946) is an Indian artist and painter from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.
Early life[edit]
Aziz was born in Hyderabad, India. He studied art at the College of Fine Art and Architecture in Hyderabad.
Works and exhibits[edit]
Aziz since the 1980s has exhibited in Europe, South Asia and South Africa.
Aziz has moved towards a new genre in his repertoire. He has used the three dimensional technique to create "Freedom Walk," a narrative rendering of a Mahatama Gandhi followed by Nelson Mandela, Jawarharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and the Frontier Gandhi on the Juhu Beach being led by a young child symbolizing the future. It took him a month to create it but he has given it to the Indian High Commissioner to South Africa, HE Shri Virendra Gupta and it will now occupy a premium place in the High Commissioner's Office in Pretoria. This painting was created to mark "150 years of Indians in South Africa.[1] On 29 December 2010 the idea of making: Freedom Walk a Commemorative Stamp, was shared with the President of India. On 2 October 2011 the Chief Postmaster General of Andhra Pradesh, was requested to work towards making: Freedom Walk a Commemorative Stamp. [2] There is a website especially created for this initiative.[3]
