Anusheh Hussain

The artist Anusheh Hussain was born and brought up in Pakistan and has now been living in India for many years. Her creative expression is inspired by the spiritual philosophies and traditions of this land. She loves Osho. As homage to his guidance, wisdom and blessing in her life, she dedicated her first art collection to Osho in December 2004. Fascinated by his arcane signature and what it symbolized for her, she replicated it on canvas fusing the full moon and his signature to depict the many roads to truth. To mark Buddha Purnima on May 17, 2011 Anusheh chose to visualize the Master’s wisdom through the strokes of her brush and bring her second collection of art as colour and calligraphy to capture the simplicity and the silence of Zen. 

Anusheh says that she no formal skill as a painter, but the art blossomed in her.

She says, “One day I was sitting and I began to feel that I really wanted to paint the master’s signature. I was looking at it and thought how am I ever able to be do it, it looks complicated. I spent sometime meditating and sort of asking for guidance. The first time I really painted was the master’s signature. Swami Ravindra saw and said why don’t  you do an exhibition on Osho’s enlightenment day that was coming up. So that was the first set of paintings I did. My art is only inspired by Osho and for me, spirituality is, like He says, only about creativity.”

Anusheh feels that Osho inspires creative vision. “Osho Himself was so aesthetic, creative and I find it that everywhere you look, from designing to the way His disciples design His book covers and the way they do up His shops, everything is so beautiful and so creative always. So as a master He just inspires creative vision and expressions.”

She adds,  “I never feel that I am painting. I always feel that there is a muse who paints through me and I cannot recall a single painting that I felt this is me. I always feel that the master guides me and something flows through you and you paint and that’s why maybe I am able to paint, really.  Because I have no formal skill.”
