Brief Introduction of the Artist
Sana Arjumand is a young, versatile and passionate visual
artist, based in Islamabad, who has gained worldwide recognition and captured a
large international audience in recent years. Her paintings have been displayed
in different cities of the world like New York, London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Korea,
Hong Kong, Mumbai and Delhi. Her work has been appreciated and acknowledged by
renowned art critics and publications such as the Time Magazine, Asia Art
Pacific and Art Quarterly. Art info magazine had a review on Sana’s work and put
her name amongst top ten emerging Indian and Pakistani artists.
Ms. Sana is a very prominent figure of the contemporary art scene. She uses
several mediums such as digital prints, collages, large scale oil paintings with
splashes of tea and acrylic gel. Conceptually she is a postmodern artist who
likes to make pieces around strong concepts revolving around the present state
of human existence. She infuses a rich blend of cultural symbolism alongside
patterns and images that recur very often in the times we live in. She has
touched upon politically and religiously sensitive issues with a sense of wit.
"Through wit I can speak comfortably about the most sensitive issues" she
quotes. Lately, her interest in folk and spiritual imagery has brought her to
contemplate upon the connection of these symbols in our modern life.
