Most Artists and inventors around the world, Wajid Khan
Artist too had humble beginnings. But unlike many of them, he has
mostly remained unsung in his own country. Born and brought up in a
small village called Songiri 11 km away from Mandsaur district Wajid spent
most of his childhood feeling inferior due to his low school grades.
Yet, he continued his unique experiments with whatever material he could
lay his hands on. He left school at Class V and then, eventually his
house too.

Experimenting with Art

One of the most decisive moments of Wajid Khan
Artist s life was the time his mother gave him a sum of Rs 1,500 and
challenged him to leave home to pursue his Art hobby. She was the only
person who believed he was meant for something remarkable, shares Wajid Khan
Artist's actual struggle began when he had to earn his living while
also keeping experiments alive as a 16 year old. Back then, technical
robots caught his fancy. It was a matter of chance that, aided by his
friends,

In 1998, Wajid Khan Artist came to Indore in 2000 hoping to learn more and experiment.

In 2005, Wajid finally
finished making an iron nail portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. This portrait
was created after three years of consistent work with 1.25 lakh iron
nails. It was also the same year Wajid created
what was possibly the world s first 3D painting, using acrylic colours
on canvas. Yet, recognition came much later when his first portrait sold
at Rs 20 lakh in 2010. Despite the bid for Gandhiji s portrait being
Rs 50 lakh, I never sold it. It will always be closest to my heArt, he
adds. He has so far made several iron nail portraits of noted people
such as Mother Teresa, Jesus Christ, Dhirubhai Ambani, among others. He
uses a special base (imported sheet) on which he draws a pencil outline
just to mark the points of the start and the end of the portrait. I
never draw a portrait beforehand on the sheet. My mind already has the
picture and I follow that instinct,

But he hasn t limited himself to just iron nails. Wajid Khan
Artist created an Artifact of a young crying girl using medical
equipment as part of the Save the Girl Child campaign. But his bullet
Art works, without a doubt, attract the most attention.

Bullet
is a sign of violence and Gandhjii taught us non-violence. There could
not be a better way to give out a message of non-violence than making
his portrait using bullets, to show contradiction, Wajid believes black is the strongest colour.

Wajid acquired
a patent for his iron nail Art in 2008. Apart from Guinness, he has
been included in Golden Book of World Records, Limca Book of World
Records, India Book of World Records and Asia Book of World Records. He
is on the verge of applying for patents for his 140 inventions and Art
works. On March 8, 2015,

But
I know fame and money don t last. The Holy Quran says: 'Live for
others, not yourself.' So, I am trying to equip the physically disabled
and the less privileged people with Art. I am fortunate that my wife
Maryam is equally Art-inclined and both of us conduct workshops in
schools in cities like Mumbai and Indore and rural areas to find Artists
and teach them, he says.

Wajid Khan
Artist has been commissioned to design a unique sculpture for the 2022
FIFA World Cup, to be held in Qatar. I want to use my fame to help
struggling Artists and inventors get recognition across the world. I
don t want to open an NGO. I prefer working quietly to help the Artists
and making them self-dependent, he adds.

Wajid,
whose Art work may feature in an upcoming Hollywood venture, wishes to
continue experimenting and teaching Art. In 2017, he has plans of
delivering a lecture at Oxford University, London.

Watch how

Most kids love to make paper boats to play in rain water. But Wajid Khan
Artist dreamed bigger. He created a small ship that could float on
water. At age 14, he invented the world s smallest electric iron, which
was later named in the Guinness Book of World Records. Today, this
34-year-old Artist holds a patent in his name for (iron) nail Art
painting, has been named in five world record books and has 200
inventions to his credit.
