Painting

A Look at Painting and Its Styles:

Painting is one of the earliest forms of human expression. From prehistoric cave art to Renaissance masterpieces, painting has evolved through styles such as *Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Cubism, Minimalism, and Modern Art. The art of painting in Afghanistan also has an ancient history dating back to antiquity. Wall paintings found in historic palaces and mosques in Bamiyan, Herat, and Ghazni attest to this heritage. During the medieval period, Persian and Mongol artistic styles significantly influenced Afghan painting. In modern times, Afghan artists have created unique works by blending traditional and contemporary art, reflecting the rich culture and history of the region.

Famous Painters:
Artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Kandinsky, Monet, Frida Kahlo, and Yves Klein have left unforgettable marks on the world of art.

At SOHA:
We believe painting is more than color and canvas .it is the voice of the voiceless. Each painting tells a silent story. Using charcoal, oil, and acrylic, we aim to express emotions through every stroke.

Motivational Quote:
“Today, painting is the voice of the voiceless — revealing untold stories through colors and form.”
Today, painting is more than just imagery—it is a voice for the unheard and unseen.
