Breaking Barriers Through Art: The inspiring journey of Jammu and Kashmir's deaf and mute artist Suhail Khan

Srinagar: The story of Mohammad Suhail Khan, a 29-year-old artist from Hani-Pora Pulwama, is a tale of talent and potential that has overcome numerous obstacles.

Despite being deaf and mute, Suhail, who is doing his BA in fine arts at University of Kashmir, has proven to be an exceptionally versatile artist, with a range of skills and interests that include painting, sketching, sculpture, printmaking, cake decorating, henna design, ring making, and more.

Suhail's journey as an artist began when he was young, discovering his passion for drawing and painting. Despite facing challenges in communicating with others and expressing himself, Suhail's talent has been shining through his art.
 
As he grew older, he began to explore other mediums and techniques, always pushing himself to improve and grow as an artist.

Suhail's incredible talent knows no bounds, as he's a man of many artistic interests and pursuits. His finesse in painting, sketching, clay modeling, sculpture, food art, cake decorating, henna design, ring making, wall painting, photography, videography, and art works is truly impressive. 

Despite his challenges as a deaf and mute artist, Suhail has continued to explore different mediums and techniques, demonstrating a natural aptitude and dedication to his craft.

His artistic repertoire is a reflection of his passion for creating, and he continues to push boundaries and defy expectations with his exceptional talent. 

According to his relatives, one of the biggest challenges Suhail has faced is the lack of support and recognition from the art world and the general public.

Despite his struggles, Suhail has never given up on his dreams and continues to create beautiful art. 

While Suhail's talent and determination have earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and the art community, he still longs for more recognition and support from the government and institutions.

Despite his incredible skill set, they say that people still see him as a disabled man, rather than as an artist. 

"Despite the obstacles that have come his way, Suhail has never allowed his deafness and inability to speak to hold him back. Instead, he has used these challenges as motivation to work harder and improve his skills. Suhail's story serves as an inspiration to others who may be facing similar challenges, showing that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their dreams," said, one of the family members. 

Mushtaq Ahmad, another friend of Suhail, describes him as a gentle and humble person with a frank nature and a heart of gold.

He wishes for Suhail's art to receive the recognition it deserves and calls on the government to give him a platform to showcase his talent. 

Suhail's ultimate wish is to earn a living through his art and be known for his talent, rather than his disability.

He hopes that the government and other institutions will recognize his incredible skill set and provide him with the support he needs to truly shine.
