About the Artist
Shaukat has been interested in flowers since his childhood, and has spent over 30 years either in botany, making herbal products such as teas and aromatherapy oils, or cultivating and painting flowers.
Most artists paint flowers purely for their aesthetic beauty but Shaukat paints the parts other artists tend to ignore or simply do not see! It is the inner parts of the flower such as the petals, stigma and stamen that arouse Shaukat's interest. The abstract flower paintings are stunning, exciting, and wonderful to behold.
Since living in Spain the tranquillity of the rolling hills, olive tress, orange groves and golden sandy beaches has brought the magic of Mediterranean beauty to Shaukat's paintings.
Shaukat supports both Seeds for Africa and UNICEF with his art as he is totally dedicated to helping the educational welfare of the children so they can have a better life.
