Farkhanda Shahzad

Artist Statement
My work for the past 20 years has used revealing aspects of nature and landscapes. In the current climate where many believe history has no relevance,. In my varied and diverse approaches to making art; installations; public, curatorial and web projects, the context of the work has an impact on the work’s relationship to the viewer.

My work ranges from the context of the Beauty of nature and freshness of views around us. The work takes on various forms intended to draw in the viewer as co-author and witness, create new and unpredictable cycles of thoughts and associations, providing an experimental chance to challenge one’s perceptions, perspectives and assumptions.

I love painting blues in water reflections paths with trees anatomy and perspective. Some of my work is also architectural based. I prefer fresh color palette with deep expression and intense details.
