Saqib Mughal’s paintings show his deep concern over meaningful inner landscape where in the darkness of the self, one is exploring the possibilities of an existentialist destiny. The so called open doors and windows are escape routes perhaps but his girls seem to hesitate to take first step to escape. His metaphysical aura indicates his search for the unanswered questions and thier inadequate answers. There is a mood in his work where darkness and lights mingle or clash exposing a social enigma making the viewers disturbed at times. His work is intuitively created and some have a haunting quality a curious sense of inquisitiveness. He juxtaposes his figures rather surrealistically exploring familiarity with the unexpected. A girl is standing puzzled with her back towards an open door. Has she entered to explore or was pushed with a trap.
