Jafar
takes his inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical
music as well as day-to-day human existence. By producing
art that is far from traditional, He is actively attempting
to shatter staid ideas of the past regarding art; his art
is the synthesis of colour, element and presentation twisted
into unusual form. In late January 1995 he moved from London
to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley,
Lancashire. Then 1997 He moved to London Carpenters Road
Studio and 1998 to Trinity Buoy Wharf studio until 2001.
