"Fantasy - I" by Aqib Faiz

Aqib Faiz is a Pakistani visual artist and third-generation pietra dura practitioner, continuing a family legacy rooted in stone carving, inlay, and mosaic. He grew up within a lineage connected to the studio practice of Gulgee, where his grandfather and father, Faiz Muhammad, developed and passed down knowledge of traditional stone craft.

He later trained under Farrukh Shahab, refining his artistic vision before joining Farrukh Shahab’s studio as an assistant. Working with carefully selected semi-precious stones, Aqib creates floral, figurative, and ornamental compositions shaped by depth, luminosity, and technical precision.

Inspired by birds, flowers, and organic forms, his work transforms stone into poetic imagery.

For collectors, Aqib Faiz’s work offers rare craftsmanship, heritage, and contemporary elegance.
