I am a Pakistani-Canadian artist born in Milton, Ontario. I now reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. I have recently completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. I am currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts at Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. My art reflects my interest in humanity’s intangible thoughts and feelings. In my practice, I explore elements of abstraction through painting, drawing, and mixed media collage. Abstraction is a style that I think is very important, as it challenges the notion that representational artwork is the peak of art. Unfortunately, the general public sees this type of work as the most impressive, and this leads to the perception that all modern art is bad. I want to challenge the misconception that abstraction is pointless, and encourage people to give it a second chance. Colour, line, and shape are the most prominent aspects of my work, and I often get told that my art is simplistic. However, I believe it is beneficial to learn to appreciate the conceptual aspects of an artwork over its technical qualities….
