Internal Blue

Internal Blue is a contemplation on the depths of the mind, a journey into the surreal landscapes of our inner world. The eyes symbolize introspection and self-awareness, inviting viewers to delve into their own thoughts and emotions. The soft colours create a dreamlike atmosphere, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy and encouraging us to explore the hidden realms of our psyche.

Artist Biography

As a fourth-year student in Visual Studies at the University of Calgary, I am on a journey of self-discovery through the world of art. Born and raised in Canada with Pakistani roots, my cultural background infuses my work with a diversity of influences. Recently, I have found a deep passion for watercolor, weaving in supernatural elements and the essence of cultural Asian art. This artistic exploration serves as a bridge between my heritage and newfound inspirations, allowing me to create a unique visual narrative that reflects my personal and cultural journey, while incorporating elements that inspire me everyday.

Inspiration

As an avid observer, I draw inspiration from the diverse tapestry of people and the ever-evolving world around me. In my artistic journey, I aim to uncover the profound beauty hidden within the smallest, often overlooked details of life. My deep affection for the human form drives my creativity, and I am driven to infuse my work with figures, capturing the essence of humanity in its purest forms. Each brush stroke in my art is an attempt to bridge the tangible and the ethereal, aiming to capture the essence of our shared existence with a touch of fantasy. Lately, I have been trying to expand my work by incorporating abstract elements and larger brush strokes.
