Sculptor Abdul Sharif Azizyar |
|
Abdul Sharif Azizyar was born in 1951 in Kabul Afghanistan. About his works he says "I believe my works are reflection of my life and the life and problems of the people of Afghanistan, My works, by and large, symbolize the problems of women in Afghanistan. I have a feeling that never will I be free to step out of this bond. My style of work is classic. Something I have learned in Afghanistan and in Russia. Probably my style will change under the influence of Western European art, which is very modern." |
