Mushtaq Noor opened his eye in a small agriculturist family of a far-flung village of Pakistan. He was only two and a half when his father died of an accident. However, under very crucial circumstances, he strived and succeeded in achieving his B.Sc. Engineering degree with Distinctions.
For a few years he joined a Public organization but soon he preferred setting up his own business leaving that service. He was very successful in his business related endeavors and very soon he achieved high positions in his circles. Unfortunately, at this stage, an old trusted friend joined his business but cheated him betraying his blind faith rendering him penniless, homeless.
He can not forget the day of 13th September 1997, when starving for over three days, dejected a lot, when for a while, he went drowsy, someone asked him; Why not start poetry and painting (what he never did or thought in life) to kill time?
The topic of the art is Heart & Soul. He never attended any school of art.
It was only at the 57th year of his life that his innate power, to conceive
and express through brush, was developed as such of blessed revelations, on
deep study of philosophy of Khudi (high-born creation of man) by Dr. Muhammad
Iqbal (1877-1938), Poet of The East.
His drowsing led him to many forms of matter undergoing alchemy through life, as the soul does, that could be utilized as allegoristic instances to place the results of such occurrences on canvas, for easy leap of minds to reach closest to the meanings thus expressed visually.
