Moin H Shah is from Pakistan and lives at Karachi. He finds
expressing himself in expressionist style very meaningful. His work has
an unusual color selection, creating figurative and other art forms
giving his paintings, a unique touch and aura. Moin is a self
taught artist and says that he has not consciously or unconsciously
adopted the style of any other artist. This gives his work freshness, a
quality appreciated by collectors of his much sought after paintings.
Some of his most highly regarded artworks are "Moon in my Room", "Light
by Twilight", "People out at nite" , "a nite out", "waterfront" & " Travellers".
Here is what some critics have said about Moin Shah's works.
NYArts Magazine ....Moin H Shah's work stands strong among today's
contemporary art and its physical distance to the capitals of the
western world isn't necessarily a disadvantage but a point worth noting.
Perhaps sometime in the near future the galleries and collectors will
recognize the tremendous potential in art from countries beyond US and
Europe. " Moin has some very expressive, emotionally charged
works online. Kind of like Matisse meets German expressionism, yet still
very original. Excellent! "
Below are some examples of Moin's expressionist works:

Status privately held
imagery expressed is not of any real spot or place but has a
semblance to a real place.The use of colors brown & naples yellow for
the structural and cobalt & ultramarine blues for the sky is sedulous
in the painting, giving it life like effect & some movement at ground
level with reflections on the water..
