The exhibition titled, Love Letter is going to have paintings of Madam Noor Jehan.
Madam Noor Jehan was the lead vocalist for many film songs. Until the early 1990s, she continued with her film-song singing career in Pakistan. She sang hundreds of hit film songs in both Punjabi and Urdu languages and became a music icon in Pakistan.
“My paintings sell well but an artist also always wants his or her work to be seen. I am hoping that perhaps, with this exhibition dedicated to ‘Maa’, people will come and see the work because they will be drawn in by their connection to her,” says Nazia Ejaz.
She added further and said, “Love Letters isn’t an ode to her. It is about my own personal journey. I was the youngest. She spoilt me rotten and we even shared a bedroom together. I had only just returned from London, having completed my studies, when she fell ill and we spent the last four years of her life in and out of hospital rooms.”
She is working on her paintings and the exhibition, ‘Love Letters’ is held in Karachi.
Her beautiful work is on her Instagram handle. Check it out!
