FOUNDER
ART BY MANZAR
Art by Manzar, founded in 2014 by Manzar Bashir, began as more than just a creative journey β it was a search for meaning, connection, and expression.
Manzar Bashir is not merely an individual but a spirit that echoes generations, a whole army of thoughts, emotions, and quests.
Raised in the historic city of Lahore, Pakistan, his journey began through its old streets, the Walled City, its timeless architecture and the faces of those who seemed to carry centuries within them until he gradually arrived at the moods and soul of nature itself.
Nature became a quiet companion, its raw beauty, shifting tones and silent truths mirrored his inner world. It deepened his sense of reflection and nurtured the creative restlessness that would shape his artistic path. Literature opened doors and writing became a way of experiencing many lives at once. His journey led through literary circles, into radio and ultimately to the visual realm of film and photography, where he discovered a unique lens to express what words could not.
To him, photography is not just an image, it is emotion, narrative, and life itself. He believes that the depth of thought directly shapes artistic expression. In every professional role, he strives to elevate his thinking, knowing that clarity of mind refines the soul of art.
For Manzar, a photograph must speak its truthβit must live, breathe and resonate. He values people above work, essence above form, and believes that creativity begins where tradition ends. Somewhere, in thought or image, his work might just reflect a part of you.
