Bio

I am a visual artist, author, parent, researcher, teacher, geometer, and environmentalist. My concerns and explorations have spanned philosophy, natural and metaphysical sciences, and psychology within the realm of aesthetics. My approach to these disciplines is not only grounded in rigorous investigation but also guided by a self-resilient artistic intuition, creating exquisite drawings and paintings that give precision to the imagination. I work with many mediums, including drawing, writing, photography, printmaking, video, and direct interaction with nature. I currently live in Lahore, Pakistan, and work as both an artist and a teacher.

I believe that art is the essence of life, as much as anything can be truly essential. It is extracted from existence through process. Art reflects life and analyzes its structure. As such, art should be a powerful force shaping the future.

My artistic practice reflects the transitions in nature, a reminder of the fleeting beauty of the moment and a reverence for the Earth. The ecological crises of our time compel viewers to reflect on the consequences of their actions and, hopefully, inspire them to take real action to protect our planet.

Nature is my niche. The serenity of Mother Earth and the inner peace she awakens within us are what attract me most. We, as humans, can speak volumes, or nothing at all, through our environment. Through embodied ecological research, I explore the inheritance of animist wisdom rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems. My approach combines somatic engagement with space, time, environment, and materiality, with a commitment to meaningful discourse about land and our connection to it.

Painting: I have always best expressed myself through opaque watercolors, organic pigments, handmade brushes and paper, dyes, pen and ink, and printmaking. What excites me most is preparing my own materials in traditional and sustainable ways using organic substances.

Videos: My videos mainly focus on the ecological embodiment of my surroundings. They help me capture, in real time, what I am experiencing, often guiding the creation of my final work.

Research: For me, research is a way to build metaphoric narratives before I manifest them physically. It is through philosophical inquiry that I explore the wisdom and aesthetics of nature.

Installation: Installations allow me to explore the relationships between self, others, and nature, helping me reflect on our role in contributing to sustainable change.

Land Art: A personal odyssey emphasizing experimental and embodied learning, creating space for community, unity, and personal growth. It fosters self-awareness and a deeper understanding of the world.
