Hamid Kabuli

Hamid Kabuli is a master artist in Afghanistan. Mr. Kabuli is an Associate professor at Kabul University, teaching the next generation of Afghan artists. Like Mr. Faryad, he takes risks others perhaps would not take, and his genious is evidenced in his paintings. His specialty is Impressionism and Realism. Learn more about Mr. Kabuli in a special interview he granted us in August, 2009 at Kabul University. In Mr. Kabuli’s own words, "Just as there are more humans in the world, my soul has more things to say. But words are not sufficient. Seeing a dried branch of cactus in a calm situation under a hot sun tells me a secret which cannot be placed into words. Words and colors are innocent and wild in their beginning, but as they come under control, step-by-step, more and more possibilities are found for expressing ideas. The beauty of some ideas and imaginations cannot be defined. If we try to define them, it would take many books. It is the painting which defines them in one page."
