To introduce you to an unusual artist.
I've seen a lot of Mother Mary and Jesus Christ's pictures but I've never seen a picture like this one look at it closely.
Yes, these are actually nails because the artist we've come to meet is India's only nail artist MR. WAJID KHAN.
In Wajid Khan's studio, you will not find paint, brushes, and pencils but hammers and nails because his way of working is different from everyone.
- The main thing is that he doesn't sketch he doesn't do any marking he makes a portrait directly.
- When he makes a portrait he puts the board on the floor and hammer it so he can't see the portrait either.
- So, for three years he would wait to find out what he had made and how it looks.
- If you hammer a nail in the wrong place the whole portrait would be spoiled.
When you look at the portrait from far it looks like a portrait when you go near, you realize that this is made using small and big stones it's three dimensional.
Making it from such a short distance near the eye and understanding the impact from the close-up this is a complicated thing which MR. WAJJID has done very well.
Mr.Wajid is a perfectionist like a method actor he goes into the character completely to do justice with the portrait.
When he gets into the character he lives that person so he enjoys living that person than the hard work.
He gets the same clothes as that person he behaves in the same way his body language is the same he works in the same way at home.
Fabulous dedication. MR.WAJID! and that the result of his dedication is his OMG artworks.
To show speed he made a horse out of the part of the car's engine.
He made a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the teacher of non-violence using bullets, the symbol of violence.
He used the medical instruments used in abortion surgery to make a crying baby's picture.
He had learned so much work in different segments that he can create art out of every material in the world.
MR.WAJID'S art is OMG because there's a depth in them he has proved that art can be created out of anything if only the artist's passion is solid and because of this passion.
Mr. Wajid is in the Limca Book of Records also, he is the sole Indian artist who has patented his nail art and do you know his first-ever portrait was auctioned for Rs. 20 lakh.
When he started to get money quickly he developed " Takabbur" which means "arrogance".
A man's coffin was passing by his wife told him, look at him, he is taking so much money with him.
He said, what are you saying! who takes money with them after death.
She said, No-one
With that answer, he understood that he too will die like this someday and he will leave everything behind.
Then he understood the objective of life that keeps doing good to others and you will become a great man.
After this experience Mr. Wajid stopped chasing money, Now. his life objective is to teach art for free for the rest of his life, he wants to change peoples' perspective with his art.
