Abdus Shakoor Shah’s ‘Chandraboti' in acrylic on canvas reflects his exploration of ancestral and historical themes, echoing the folk-tradition of Quamrul Hassan and Jamini Roy.  In his painting featuring Chondraboti, the medieval Bengali poet celebrated as the first known female poet in Bengali literature, Shakoor skillfully integrates panel geometrical motifs, harmonizing literary legacy with abstract artistic expression. Inspired by Bengali folk motifs and ballads like the "Mahua" and "Malua" love stories, his painting integrates vibrant colors and fluid brushwork. Shakoor's artwork often features motifs such as peacocks, parrots, elephants, and tigers, showcasing a blend of folklore and artistic expression that resonates with the cultural richness of Bangladesh.
