Caretaker Prime Minister Mohammedmian Soomro on Friday said that artists were an asset for a nation having a special place in the society.
During a visit to the exhibition of mixed media works, `Kontinum', by Mansoora Hassan at Tanzara Gallery, Soomro showed keen interest in her art work.
He praised Mansoora for her works which is greatly influenced by Sufi mysticism.
Currently based in Turkey, Mansoora has built her own distinctive body of symbolism that addresses itself through a soul searching process.
Her current exhibition is pulp paper painting in which her handmade sheet of paper acts like a canvas and the pigmented pulp becomes the paint.
