He worked day and night and did not care much about commercial aspect of his wrok. Sadequain created some beautiful artworks by doing calligraphy of holy verses of Quaran and also of famed poetry of Iqbal, Faiz and Ghalib. He was commissioned by different countries to create artworks in different forms.
Sadequain lives on years after his death and is subject of many academic pursuits by students of arts. Recently, a project titled ‘The Holy Sinne: Sadequain” chronicled and reproduced his work in great detail and is a befitting tribute to this great artist.
An interesting aspect of Sadequain’s life is that he was a self-taught artist with not much formal training or education. Sadequain died at the age of 57 years and many of his work was lost or stolen and today when it resurfaces, it is worth millions.
