Talent never dies if you don’t want it to, Shabbir Loynmoon, would insist. Loynmoon, now 71-year-old, started a new journey seven years ago, which was also an old one; he decided to retire from technical work and pursue his passion for art.

"I was good at drawing and sketching at school, and this skill came to use in my profession as an engineer. I could do a lot of three-dimensional drawings, which other engineers could not. It did keep the skill alive in a way but I always devoted some time to paint and nurtured a wish to be an artist, Loynmoon shares, explaining his new journey, seated at his home in Tardeo.
