Artist’s Statement
Emotional journey through the life of a woman is the subject in Nazia’s artwork. Being brought up with liberal family in a conservative country, she has experienced the contradicting sides of life styles which is confessed in her paintings. From childhood Nazia was inspired by the mermaids which she translates to a intimacy of woman life and colours deep water, where mermaid live, can be widely seen in her paintings. She begin her paintings by splashing few colours, let it dry and imagines something within those arbitrary shades which , she further develops into a great painting.
Working on canvas she uses acrylic paints with shades of ocean to reveal her imaginations. Sitting in her house in Gulshan, she will be spending most her time with paintings in peace on her own, surrounded by the memories of her grand mother who she misses the most. Peace and harmony in the life with painting is something she promotes and she has inspired many people to take the brush.
