Visual Artist — Pakistan
↓ Scroll to enter the exhibition
Art has always felt like a beautiful gift. From a young age, Fabiha Shaheen dreamed of becoming an artist — and today she works as a visual artist with a deep desire to keep evolving as a fine artist.
Along the way she has taken quiet joy in making crafts and handmade gifts, each piece made with heart. She has explored a wide range of mediums — colour pencils, charcoal, watercolour, acrylics and oil paints — learning the particular charm and technique of each.
While every medium has its own language, oil painting is where she feels most connected to her art.
This painting reflects the silent struggles of women who dedicate their lives to being housewives, often setting aside their dreams, desires and choices.
It portrays an elderly woman gazing out of a window, revisiting the life she might have lived. Through the window she sees a glimpse of freedom, while the background is filled with symbols of anxiety, depression and the weight of responsibilities.
The monochromatic style emphasises the monotony and sameness that so often define the lives of women confined to traditional roles for years.
The inspiration for this piece comes from the artist's mother — a gifted artist who sacrificed her passion to devote herself to her family.
Artist's NoteThis painting is deeply personal and close to my heart. It reflects my hope for a world where women, like my mother, can embrace their passions and live life on their own terms. I aspire for this artwork to inspire change and encourage women to pursue their dreams unapologetically.
