Born in Kerala in 1991, Amjum has done graduation from Trivandrum Fine Arts college and post-graduation from Chamarajendra Academy of Visual arts, Mysore.
Amjum’s work has solemnly come from his own eternal life experiences. Highly fascinating influence of Persian art, combined with enthralling decorative artistic influence, set his work to a higher level of perfection. High influence of Mughal and Persian miniature guided him to a decorative world of art. Mythology, religion, poetry, literature, art history, textile, and decorative art from both eastern and western traditions – all these are infused with artistic imaginations. This perceived change in his body of art, comes up as a byproduct of his never-ending travel experiences.
Amjum tries to recreate the extrinsic objectives in his personal space of imagination and recreates it in a narrative form in his artistic work. . In other sense, Amjum is trying to elaborate his socio-political activity and arguments through the images.
His recent works suggest a fantastical world, full of intricate details, rich colour and registered collection of intensive drawings and religious images.
Amjum Rizve lives and works in Mysore, Karnataka.
