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.

Visual artist / Sculptor
Describe your most recent work:
‘On my way’ is a site-specific installation formed from a series of twelve sculptures broken in to two sections. The sculpture is about our journey - where we go through our hopes and visions, each day creating a new chapter and looking forward to seeing more.

Inspired by psychology, philosophy, classical music and day-to-day human existence, the work that Jafar produce is far from traditional. Actively attempting to shatter staid perceptions of art history, his work synthesises colour, element and presentation, resulting in a hybrid of unusual forms.

To date, most of his large-scale installations have been concerned with nature, public spaces and the environment. Frequently created from glass, steel, light, paint and sound, each new installation is informed by the last, meaning no single work has a start and an end, but instead adds a chapter to an evolving narrative.

Drawn to create work that is site-specific, Jafar sculptures encourage interaction with the natural surroundings, both by the art itself and the viewer. The work relies on the space in which it is shown, in order to complete the story it is trying to tell.

His work sets out to simplify our daily lives and the diversity of mankind. In doing so it reflects the imaginative power and ever changing creative forces of new formative arts.
