Each is an original creation and there are no reproductions.  

Riaz Khandwala retired early from banking to explore his passions in what he considers to be the final, Act III of his life. Post banking, Riaz did a brief but memorable stint as a trainee detective constable with the Metropolitan Police London, took flying lessons to reimagine his childhood dream of becoming a pilot, set up a property letting business, and devoted time to understand the psyche of fear, greed and mania in the financial and property markets.

He discovered a latent love for painting after enrolling in a Basic Drawing and Painting course at the Indus Valley School of Art & Architecture, Karachi. Largely self-taught, he developed his techniques by reading books and watching YouTube videos. He also attended a  course on Creative Life Drawing at the Central Saint Martins London.
