Shakeel is a multifaceted artist whose roots lie in the heart of Sardinia, a land that inspires authenticity and creativity. From an early age, he displayed a strong desire to explore materials and their infinite expressive possibilities, embarking on a self-taught journey that led to the development of his unique and innovative style.

In 1993, he earned a professional qualification as a wood inlay craftsman, but his art truly took shape through relentless experimentation. Shakeel pioneered original techniques such as colored inlays and pyrography with gunpowder, creating works that blend manual skill, intuition, and symbolic depth.

Parallel to his artistic exploration, Shakeel embarked on a profound inner journey. Meditation, dance, theatre, and travels to India and Mexico became tools for personal transformation and self-discovery. These experiences enriched his creative vision and deepened the connection between art and spirituality.

His passion for life is reflected in his love for reclaiming and transforming forgotten objects. Each creation invites viewers to uncover the hidden beauty in the everyday, sparking both imagination and emotion.

Shakeel’s works resist rational interpretation; instead, they are meant to be felt and experienced. Through their silent language, they speak of rebirth, harmony, and wonder.
