Three things stood out in this wedding, everyone’s simple clothes, 70’s Clifton atmosphere and almost every picture has a painting or artwork on the walls!
one Painting As if stopped. A picture of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto painted in blue colors on the wall.

However, in the photo that Fatima Bhutto posted on Twitter, the image had a sheen like it was made of oil paint.
Contacted my kind Shahid Hussain Sahib who is also an excellent person photographer and live in the United States.
I requested him for Amin Gulji’s number and thus I got in touch with Gulji’s son.
Amin Gulji confirmed to Kamal Shafqat at the same time that this picture was made by Gulji from ‘laps lazuli’ i.e. lapis lazuli.
He also said that ‘I remember the days when my father was making this picture, I myself like it very much and since my father (Gulji) knew Bhutto very closely, this picture has full depth in it. With (depth) you will see.’
Amin Gulji said that this picture was made in the Mughal tradition exactly like this The Taj Mahal was engraved inside.
‘It is called ‘Petra Dora’. This method of making a mosaic is such that each piece of stone fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. This is the mosaic tradition of the Mughals exemplified by the Taj Mahal. My father wanted to carry on this tradition.’
Gulji was a Pakistani artist who painted a portrait of Afghan King Zahir Shah, and presented it to him when he came to Pakistan.
Zahir Shah liked the portrait so much that on his invitation, Gulji again went to Afghanistan and made 151 portraits of the royal family.
Portraits of American presidents, sketches of Saudi leaders, portraits of Iranian queens, portraits of the Aga Khan and this portrait of Bhutto are among his prominent works.
Gul Ji’s name was ‘Abdul Hameed Ismaili’ and his first teacher was his grandfather Hakim Abu Ali Ismaili.
Born in 1926, Gulji learned painting from his grandfather and took up abstract painting when he went to America to study engineering.
In 1950, Gulji exhibited his pictures which proved to be a super hit.
Fatima Bhutto Among the pictures of her wedding that she posted on Instagram are paintings by Abdul Rahman Chaghatai, which are a reflection of the taste of the people living in 70 Clifton.

The picture titled ‘Buzkshi’ was made in 1965.
