Nailing the Artistic way

A true example of overflowing creativity and skill, 30 year old Wajid Khan from Indore,Madhya Pradesh deserves the laurels that come by his side.We are speaking about his unique talent of making portraits with nails.One of the special  ones was the nail portrait he made on an acrylic foam sheet almost hammering one lakh nails to make a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi.This was a fitting tribute to our great Father of the Nation.Khan has  been having this     impeccable  style which he cherished right from his childhood and his constant innovation has only led him to fully nurture  this talent blossoming within him.
He wasn't satisfied painting regular landscape and that prompted him to try something different.He has made nail portraits of Rahul Gandhi, an Arab man , a running horse  and has also made foray in to three dimensional  painting with nails which he creates with utmost diligence & care . Each such work takes almost 8 to 10 months for completion.One of the few nail artist the world has ever produced Khan takes pride in hammering thousands  of nails on a sheet of plywood . Wajid Khan has also taken part in reality shows to expose his art to the world.And  wearing all the much needed credits up his sleeve he is even getting noticed internationally.When asked about his further plans he gushed by saying he derives great satisfaction from the fact  that he  has been doing something different and plans to take his unusual wonder art to every nook and corner of the world.Wajid Khan  was honoured  as a record holder  on July 16,2012.
