Landscape Painter · Photographer

Ibraheem Eurish

Oil landscapes and photographs gathered from the mountains and high valleys of northern Pakistan — light, altitude, and the long road north.

I paint the north. The Karakoram and the Himalaya, the glacial blues of Attabad and Naltar, the gold of poplars turning in Hunza. Trained in the studios of the National College of Arts in Lahore — a school older than the country itself — I work in oil, chasing the particular light that falls between these peaks, and carry a camera for everything the brush cannot keep.

The turquoise Hunza river winding through the Karakoram

“There is a colour the mountains keep only for an hour after sunrise. I have spent years trying to mix it.”

About

A painter from Lahore, drawn to the mountains

Ibraheem Eurish trained at the National College of Arts, Lahore — founded in 1875, more than seventy years before Pakistan itself, and still the country’s most storied school of art. It was there he learned to see in oil.

Since then the work has followed the road north. Each summer becomes an expedition into Gilgit-Baltistan and the high Karakoram — to Hunza and Skardu, to the glaciers and the quiet alpine lakes — returning with canvases, and with photographs of everything that could not be painted on the spot.

The paintings are landscapes, mostly: studies of distance, weather and the brief, astonishing light of the great ranges.
