ZARINA KHAN
I was born in Peshawar on the 4th of August, 1994 and then moved to Lahore with my family 10 years later. I always had a keen interest towards drawing in my high school days and since then the passion and pursuit of it drove me to earn my Bachelors in Fine Arts from National college of Arts in 2014. I majored in Miniature painting and graduated in 2017 with honors. My paintings are a contemporary take on the traditional aspect of Indo-Persian miniatures whereas the process of layering, mark making and graffiti are an inherent part of my work. I tend to use a mix of traditional and personal techniques of painting along with an air-brush to create graffiti like marks. The themes of my work revolve around questions about identity in an ever evolving world of religious paradoxes, complex human emotions and societies imposed notions of certain norms.
