Artist Statement:
Abu Jafar is an acclaimed leading artist and Philosopher
of the arts. Since last Spring 2005 Jafar has created some very unusual and fresh work in collaboration with Ewa Wawrzyniak including " The Wonder Burghley" Sculpture at Burghley Sculpture Park, Burghley, Stamford,UK. It is one of the largest sculptures in the Park. The Sculpture with 12 wooden structures, line Drawing, blown glass, stone and Nature (THE HOUSE Season starts 31st March until 28th October.)

Jafar takes his inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music as well as day-to-day human existence. By producing art that is far from traditional, He is actively attempting to shatter staid ideas of the past regarding art; his art is the synthesis of colour, element and presentation twisted into unusual form. In late January 1995 he moved from
London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. Then 1997 He moved to London Carpenters Road Studio and 1998 to Trinity Buoy Wharf studio until 2001. He becomes an Associate Member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in February 2007.
