HI, I'M MOHAMMAD DAUD HEDAYATI
Having drawn for as long as I can remember I had always wanted to contribute in creative industry. I finished a 3-years program from a recognized local art school in 2008 named Ghulam Mohammad Maimanagi in Kabul, Afghanistan. I slowly moved into digital arts and graphics and learned mostly over the internet and It took me a while to become a very good freelance artist, since then I’m working in-paper and digital illustrations and private commissions. In my work I’m particularly influenced by traditional and my favorite artists, of whom there are too many to mention! I also had the chance to exhibit my work locally and internationally and run workshops for art enthusiasts and artists.
I have undertaken hundreds of caricature and illustrations commissions, please visit my Gallery page for some samples, I hope you’ll enjoy looking at the selection of my art on display at this website.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank my family, companions, clients and the arbitrary well-wishers for all the compliments and kind messages of support I have gotten since launching this website.
As for the future, I plan to continue to improve my skills and grow and develop as an artist and entrepreneur and keep doing what makes others and myself very happy…. I live with my lovely wife and two sweet children, Sulaiman and Maryam.
Thanks for your patience reading. Hope to hear from you soon!
