In reality, Sadaf did learn and adopted the Indan techniques but each of his paintings was a pure depiction of Indian soul and heritage. The work of Sadaf was heavily impacted by realism and mainly revolved around the people living in her community. She was obsessed with the wall artworks of India and was a fan of the vivacious oil painting techniques.
