Nusra Latif Qureshi
I stumbled on the work of the artist, Nusra Latif Qureshi recently while researching Miniature painting. Nusra Latif Qureshi and Shahzia Sikander were both trained in Mughal Miniature painting at the National College of Art in Lahore, Pakistan.
Happy New Year
Olivo Barbieri
I start the new year thinking about small footprints, small gestures, and the unremarkable. The market has rewarded so many extravagant, bloated productions and look what has resulted. It is time to slow down and reward the local economy, the handmade, the miniature, friends, and the art of doing nothing. Reflection on where we are going, the principled life, what we eat, how we live, what we think is paramount. All the best in 2009.
My Name is Red

A man is murdered, would be lovers communicate by messenger, as clashing beliefs and art theories play out in 16th C Istanbul.
Alex Kvares
Alex Kvares makes intricate and delicate drawings that demand attention. He is a great example of the kind of work I am increasingly interested in – miniature works demonstrating incredible skill and imagination.
