"Buying emerging art is the equivalent of investing in frontier market equities. Rather than buying the global names that appear in the big auctions of the best galleries, you invest in the artistic equivalent of Mongolia or Cambodia: the young artists coming out of MA programmes."

Artist’s statement

I am drawn to patterns, motifs and color. My artwork incorporates themes of human emotions and connection between humanity. While my initial work was inspired by the symmetry of geometric patterns used in Islamic art and architecture, it has evolved to incorporate global patterns. I grew up surrounded by these patterns and using them is nostalgic. My work is full of color that surrounded me during my early life in Pakistan.

I work on canvas and marine grade mahogany panels. I paint with supports laid on a horizontal surface. This allows me to use techniques involving free flow of paint and allows paint to stand on the panels until it dries. With a background in Medical Toxicology, I use organic pigments and pay attention to preserving the environment. Geometric and floral motifs are incorporated using masking tapes. Floral patterns are painted and texture is created. I work in layers, sometimes as many as thirty and take several weeks to complete a piece. My work is an amalgam of controlled patterns and uncontrolled movement of pigment; a mixture of traditional and contemporary.
