Talking about his artistic journey so far he says, ‘My drawing teacher sent me to Mumbai’s J.J. School of Art because of my good drawing skills,I studied there but couldn’t find my interest. After forty years I retired. I had looked at the paintings of other artists, and I wanted to create something unique and so I tried creating a 3-D painting.There is a lot of hard work. After many of my 3D works were successful, I decided to make a portrait of Prime Minister Modi.’
Explaining the details of the portrait of Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah, painter Momin says, “I chose to paint the portrait of the Prime Minister because I could mix Amit Shah’s and Modi’s beards, glasses, and their personality in one canvas. By arranging fine strings, I drew a picture of the Prime Minister on one side and on the other side I drew a picture of Amit Bhai, the picture is designed in such a way that the Prime Minister can be seen on one side of the picture and by keeping a mirror on the side, Amit Shah’s face can be seen in it.”

Once when Kamal Haasan was not getting permission to film a scene, he thought of using 3-D art, he gave me a plane ticket, and also booked a hotel. I created 3-D designs inside his studio.
