S.H. Raza or Syed Haider Raza (born 22 February 1922) is an eminent Indian artist who has lived and worked in France since 1950, but maintains strong ties with India. S.H.Raza is better known as the ‘master of colors’. Raza is one of the distinguished Indian artists of the century. His works basically include real and abstract landscapes blossomed with vibrant colors.

His works are mainly abstracts in oil or acrylic, with a very rich use of color, replete with icons from Indian cosmology as well as its philosophy . He was awarded the Padma Shri and Fellowship of the Lalit Kala Akademi in 1981 and Padma Bhushan in 2007.

At a Dec 2006 auction, a painting by Raza reportedly sold for US $1.4 million.

Inspired by Rasaz's style I have painted an abstract series today.. let me know your comments.
