Artist statement

My work captures the pulse of urban life—fragments of graffiti, bursts of color, and structured geometry that mirror the rhythms of the city and my own emotional landscapes. Whether I’m channeling the hush of a summer dusk or the frenetic energy of Lahore’s streets, my paintings become emotional cartographies: layered, dynamic, and open-ended.

Through richly textured surfaces, bold gestures, and elements drawn from urban visual language, I create contemplative spaces where abstraction becomes a way to process and reflect on the intensity of everyday experience. I aim to invite viewers into a space beyond direct representation—one where color, form, and mark-making allow for the feeling of movement, memory, and life in flux.
