Mirza was born on December 18th, 1943 near a fishermen's village in the Kharadhar area of the Indian subcontinent. He started painting as a small child, as soon as he was able to hold a brush in his hands, and painting has been his passion and life's calling since that time. His unique style of painting can be described as mystical, with colors that are raw, vibrant, and full of energy. Mirza captures in his paintings the mystical realm of human existence, which is between the real world and the unseen world. The world that we are subconsciously aware of and can relate to intuitively. A world that borders around the fringes of surrealism and fantasy. Mirza has produced a volume of work that reflects different periods in the evolution of his paintings and his outlook on life. In addition to canvas and paper he has made an extensive use of other mediums such as wood, glass, ceramic, and metal.
