==================
Wajid Khan was just 14 when his mother handed him Rs 1,300 ($20) and bade him farewell, saying, “move from here and live your own life and achieve your goal.” Wajid never dreamed that the journey he started would lead him to Dubai 22 years later.
Wajid is best known now for his portraits made of nails, and the first that he offered for sale earned him Rs 200,000 ($3107). His most famous nail portraits are of Mahatma Gandhi; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Industries Limited; and Jesus Christ. Apart from nails, Wajid also creates art from medical equipment and automobile parts. He also made a portrait of Gandhi using bullets in homage to the late Indian leader who promoted nonviolence. “I intend to use all kinds of waste and transform them into art,” he told My Salaam.
Wajid was born in a village near Mandsaur, a city in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Wajid had been forced to live with his maternal grandparents because of family problems, and his mother understood that her talented son, who had already invented a strong contender for the world’s smallest electric iron, needed to move away from home to make the most of his abilities.
After many years of struggle and poverty, Wajid has indeed made it big. An artist who wears many hats and has several world records and inventions against his name, Wajid is now in the process of setting up a studio in Dubai. “At present, I have a workshop and two studios in India, including one in Mumbai,” he said. “Now I am setting up another in Dubai, and it should open within eight months.”
A studio in Dubai would be a natural extension for the artist whose work has now gone global. He is due to exhibit in London later this year and has an upcoming project in Africa. “I’m doing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth, and once that is done I will be ready for the London show,” the 36-year-old said.
