Dawani Art Gallery - Untitled by Ustad Aziz Mirza - USAZ-01

Ustad Aziz Mirza, trained at the Maharaja School of Art in Jaipur (now known as the Rajasthan School of Art), is a renowned artist specializing in the Mughal miniature technique. Over the last three decades, he has gained significant acclaim for his mastery in reproducing Mughal miniatures, particularly the works of Abdul Rehman Chughtai, often leading art connoisseurs to mistake his reproductions for original Chughtai pieces. Mirza's expertise in the wash technique of watercolors is both extraordinary and exceptional, demonstrating a deep vision and understanding that aligns him with the legacy of A.R. Chughtai. His meticulous approach to the color gradation and surface preparation of his artworks has earned him recognition as a true continuator of Chughtai's style. Living and working in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Ustad Mirza approaches his craft as a tribute to Chughtai, viewing his reproductions as an exercise in skill and homage rather than mere imitation. He upholds a strict principle of not signing his reproductions, respecting the integrity of the original works and maintaining a clear distinction between his creations and those of Chughtai. His dedication to his art form has made his pieces highly sought after by collectors who value the beauty and craftsmanship of his work.
