Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece

Fida Hussain

I was born and raised in the beautiful valley of Srinagar, Kashmir, which for me is the coolest place on earth. Unfortunately, during the early 1990s, our state was engulfed with violence and to witness it was perhaps one of the worst moments of my life. I had to cut short my studies as it was difficult to leave our homes, schools were closed and, for days, we would stay indoors fearing an attack. It gives me a chill to recall those times. But as they say, life goes on and so it did for us too. On a brighter side, my father is a papier mache craftsman - a family tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation. I grew up watching him create beautiful things. When I left school I decided to join my father full time.

About our Artist: My name is Fida Hussain, and I was born and raised in the beautiful valley of Srinagar, Kashmir. My father is a papier mache craftsman - a family tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation. I grew up watching my father create beautiful things. When I left school I decided to join my father full time. We occasionally make intricate pieces, but when the customers are not ready to pay, we have to go with the flow. I really want to promote the beauty of this papier mache craft. When my father was alone, the way to sell his products was through local stores in Srinagar but since Ive joined him, we have also started participating in government sponsored exhibitions, and we also have started supplying government emporiums and cottage industries.
