Mohd. Intiyaz, born on June 6, 1995 in Jharkhand, India. At an early age, he developed creative skills and grew, he witnessed various social situations and family experiences that impacted his memories and artistic sensitivity.


Between 2013 and 2019, he studied Visual arts at University of Jamia Millia Islamia (new Delhi, India), where he obtained a master's degree in painting with maximum distinction (MFA Grant), a specialty that drives him to develop the first stage of his career in pictorial expression, achieving numerous recognitions in the academic field. Throughout his life, Intiyaz has been in the middle of various social situations and family experiences that had a lasting impact on his memories and artistic sensitivity. His artwork often sheds light on crucial childhood events related to migration and marginalization. Realizing many of these hardships were not unique, but often a shared reality, he started to question why injustice is overlooked as a societal norm—and why it is so hard to talk about it openly. While camouflaging high tension citizen crises, each artwork presents us with an underlying question regarding labor, production, protest, and identity.


​Experience that has meant expanding his artistic knowledge exponentially and also investigating new ways of conceiving art with a contemporary approach. Currently, he has worked as a Graphics Designer in the area of ​​art and culture in New Delhi. In creative terms, he is exploring new expressive devices to continue developing his artistic work.
