My Boundary

Nasif Ahmed

I was practicing watercolor, my pastime hobby, and one day I drew my shadow. When using watercolors, I normally try to convert my mobile phone photos to little paintings. Most of these are not intentionally conceptual. I capture those frames which are related to our regular life which then gives it a second meaning which actually expresses my thoughts or intentions. I used textured, handmade paper to do watercolors and use “Camel” watercolor. I usually edit these paintings a lot with my digital tablet.
