Aisha Mahmood

Artist's statement
My work primarily revolves around three distinct genres: abstract, landscapes, and calligraphy. Through the use of bold acrylics and brushstrokes, I explore themes to do with healing, awakening and rebirth. My pieces often feature gold leaf and iridescent gold acrylic, as well as a layered and textured approach.
