Web Sites have been developed on other subjects of Life, but having seen the complete Site on the Art of Painting in Shikarpur, it gives gesture that today's youth is fathomless treasure of capabilities and skills.Hisam Memon truly has done the best work coming accross various types of difficulties as well as troubles.He is applauded on the biggest work in younger age.
Shikarpur city has been remaining rich for long time from Artistic point of view.Daher & Channa (castes) have been bestowed with Art in heritage or legacy.But from other (castes) are also the best Artists, some of them have got great fame and name. Abdul Sami Channa blossomed before my eyes, he was fond of Art from his younger age.He got the
education of Art form the popular Painters and Artists of Shikarpur.But he has been Popular himslef now.His best works represent the running era and reflect the future.
May God grant him more success....!

Fine arts has outstanding importance in all over the world. An artist is a true picture of a natural beauty, owing to his good and meritorious work.It is sincere scrupulousness to say that our world is full of these genius men.Mr.Abdul Sami Channa is also to be considered one of them, who lives in a historical city Shikarpur, and has been working as an Artist here since long.It goes without saying that his portraits are true and real, give a positive sense to figure out the extra-ordinary thinking of a good in an Artist, being possessed a par excellence qualities.Really, I appreciate to this man with a core of heart and pray for him that God may give him outstanding power !

Shikarpur has remained rightfully rich regards to Arts & Knowledge.Let me utter words firstly for Hisam Memon, who gives novel things to us.Otherwise,no one has thought before this from artistic point of view at Shikarpur.That is why, all credit goes to single Hisam.He is a person,who has real touch with creative things,viz:Art,literature,journalism and now web designing & development. He is not only a creative but romantic in his living style, he does that whatever he likes,though friends forbid him to do that, but he continues to do.It's now proved that Hisam is right and it is the real saying that "where there is a will, there is a way." He did well to purchase the PC and did the best to design the Web Site of Abdul Sami Channa.No one knows,when did he learn HTML, Java
Script and related skills to web designing and development.But I am the eye witness that he learnt all this within very short period of time.One can guess,without any formal course and proper learning in any institution of Computer Science,how much is it difficult to do...!?
I know various things regarding him that he is actually a Lover and it is my firm belief & observation that only a Lover could think,how world could be made peaceful and creative.Keats Uttered once that "Poets really are the lagistalers of the world' and Hisam is not only a poet,but a Lover and Lover is more than a poet. As for as Abdul Sami Channa is concerned, he is the best Artist of Shikarpur presently,who is the the most prominent all of the artists at Shikarpur thesedays.Fortunately Mr.Channa got the best Web Master by the grace of God at his own threshold.The artist would be reputed very soon through out world now.Before logging on, Sami was confined to hardly Sindh's some areas,now he can enjoy & get reputation in six continents of the wrold.Suppose,how big thing is this! No doubt, it is a big thing, but the world has logged on and converted into global village, then, why not our Shikarpur.........!Every visiter of this Web Site can imagine that to what extent Shikarpur keeps creative minds..! That Shikarpur, which has remained backbone of Sindh....And now she cries for her lost paradise...! Time hides like thief, we have to decide , who would rejuvinate Dear Shikarpur.It's notable in this historical context that Artists are the backbone of our civilization and Culture.That is why,time calls to pay them more heed...........!

Ustad Abdul sami Channa is treasure of goodness and various deeds.He is not strange to learned people.His artistic world is also fantastic.He is older friend of brushes and colours.Both colours and brushes are so confined before ustad (teacher/guide), they cannot disobey him.My teacher knows well how to paint characters to display the fact.
When the artist of SHAH LATIF'S land, included characters in the melodies of LATIF and other poetry display artistically with colours, the characters seem really true.This art of Painting is gift to Ustad naturally, which has been recognization and identification of Ustad absorbing in himself. His painted master pieces in various magazines and news papers have been witness to his loftiness. Various titles of books have been matchless.Dedicating his life to the world of Art, has rescued the credibility of Art and has been ideal personality to his lovers and pupils.

Mr.Abdul Sami Channa as I know him is a best Artist,Calligrapher and Banner's writer with the able guidence of Mr.Nazim-u-ddin Daher, the prominent artist, able teacher and dramatist,he rose to this Position.At least about 100 portraits of SHAH ABDUL LATIF BHITTAI, his heroines and famous personalities of our beloved province Sindh here produced by this young artist.He is very much social and dedicated to his work.He remains 12 to 14 hours in a day in his studio.His mind is a creative one.So many titles of news papers,films and souvenirs and magzines were also brought by him.I pray for success from Allah Almighty for his long life and prosperity.

The work of Mr.Sami Channa is appreciable from two respects.First,he has tried to configure someof the verses from poetry (certainly those ones which appealed him most) in the way as he perceived.Secondly,for the work he is doing or has done yet he has not been paid in monetary terms as well as in terms of recognization.Despite of the poor response of the public,he has kept on the doing task he got occupied by.Without going in the tecnicalities of the art itself, it can be said that the feelings expressed on the canvas through different colours and shades is both much romantic and striking.And after seeing the work done by the artist it can be guessed that he is keeping soft and mild fellings and knowing how to give the accurate & meaningful shades to the words of loving and romantic situations and emotional and fateful events.
Something for the web site and its designer HISAM MEMON! He is an unpredictable prediction.He has developed website without taking any major help from any professional web developer and computer wizard.He has managed his own way towards the field of net and web designing and he has done brilliant!! Dealing with the commands of Jave Script and Html along with the setting, web pages is not a matter of an easy going rather it is hectic and painstaking needing continuous patience and time.He did it !! I congratulate him for the work he has done.I pray for his srccess in his life...!

It is recorded in the history that there were born great heroes in Shikarpur City.Abdul Sami Channa is one of them.I know him and has observed that the Artist has focused the Sindhi Culture as well as the core theame of SHAH ABDUL LATIF's philosophy in his various paintings, which are now online and every one can see from the cornor of Shikarpur to Europe, America to Africa continent, even throughout the world.The credit goes to Hisam Memon, who did this sincerely to spread the art in the world.That is why, I call aloud that Shikarpur is still a fertile land of Art and Genius.

It is said,"Art is the imitation of life." No doubt, life which is full of happiness, sorrows, and the artist is the real imitator of human action, who depicts life its drawbacks, its pleasures as well as he forecasts events, which are to happen by the power of perception.This type of sensation creates a new atmosphere and give birth to a new muze.In this regard Ustad Sami Channa is one of the successors of this kind of scenario.
