The recipient of the Presidential Pride of Performance Award in 2018, Qudsia Nisar, who was a preeminent painter of Pakistan, passed away in Islamabad on 27th April 2021, according to a statement issued by the media manager, CMC (Pvt.) Ltd.
She had been suffering from various ailments for the past several months in Karachi until her brother and other family members moved her to Islamabad in March 2021, where, despite medical care, her condition worsened.
As a highly prolific painter, Qudsia Nisar was widely recognised by art critics as being the pioneer of using water colour in Pakistan to express abstract visions of modern art without using conventional figures and forms.
