| Life, spirit, beyond: Ahuja at her show; Hefez's Life fleeting by |
She's a polyglot
(that's Urdu, Persian, French, Russian and four others). She has an interest
in period poetry and a flair for calligraphy and painting. Sexagenarian
artist Ameena Ahmed Ahuja, who studied at the slade School of Art, London
and now lives between her aesthetic worlds in London, New York, Tokyo
and Delhi, is a lady of varied interests. At her Mumbai exhibition of
calligraphic paintings, Wisdom of Birds and Animals at Cymroza gallery,
Ahuja amalgamated verses from Urdu, Persian and Russian poetry (Amir Khusrau,
Ghalib, Hafez, Mikov and
Pushkin),
into pen 'n' ink shapes of birds and mammals. But the surfeit of existentialist
verses (like Hafez's Life is fleeting by) was far from coincidental: Ameena
lost her brother, Farid recently and says that her works are an "emotional
and spiritual reflection" of her life. Not that they weren't any
happy, indulgent poems-the most interesting was the The Epicurean by none
other than Mughal emperor Babur.
