HerNet Fine Arts presents
"Artist Spotlight" : Sheikh Afzal 🏆

Featuring at the Embassy of Japan and HerNet Fine Arts' upcoming collaborative initiative "Origins of Vision" Art Exhibition

𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐊𝐇 𝐀𝐅𝐙𝐀𝐋

HerNet Fine Arts proudly honors Sheikh Afzal—an artist, educator, and quiet innovator whose visual language transforms absence into presence. Through spare composition and emotional restraint, his paintings explore the spaces between form and feeling, memory and silence.

⸻

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐘

Born in 1966, Sheikh Afzal studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, where he now serves as Professor in the Department of Drawing and Painting. His practice has developed over three decades through solo and group exhibitions across Bangladesh, including major shows at Bengal Gallery and the National Art Gallery. Parallel to his studio work, he has mentored countless students—shaping the next generation with the same thoughtful precision that defines his canvases. His academic writing and visual research further reflect a commitment to both reflection and rigor.

⸻

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 & 𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄

Afzal’s paintings are meditations on identity, distance, and the emotional residue of the body. Often featuring semi-abstract torsos, ghost-like figures, or disembodied outlines, his work uses muted palettes and textured layering to evoke absence and longing. Human forms appear isolated or fading—captured not in motion, but in stillness. These stripped-down compositions carry psychological weight, allowing viewers to project meaning into quiet space. His process is slow, deliberate, and deeply intuitive.

⸻

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐓

HerNet celebrates Sheikh Afzal for his ability to articulate what cannot be spoken. His paintings offer not spectacle, but contemplation—a refusal of noise in favor of depth. As an artist and teacher, he embodies the values at the heart of Origins of Vision: sensitivity, sincerity, and enduring presence. In every quiet frame, he invites us to witness the unsaid.

⸻

Enter the restrained world of Sheikh Afzal—where the invisible becomes image, and stillness opens toward truth.

বাংলাদেশে পরিশোধনাগার স্থাপন করতে চায় আরামকো : সৌদি রাষ্ট্রদূত

দুই দেশের মধ্যে বাণিজ্য, বিনিয়োগ, সংস্কৃতি ও পর্যটনসহ নানাবিধ সহযোগিতার খাত রয়েছে। তবে দুই দেশের বিনিয়োগ নিয়ে আমি সন্তুষ্ট নই। ২০২৬ সালে বাংলাদেশ এলডিসি থেকে উত্তরণ করবে। সৌদি আরব সবসময় বাংলাদেশের পাশে থাকবে।’
