In the artist's words

Visual Artist | Art Curator

Tashfeen Rizwan is a multidisciplinary visual artist and curator whose practice spans painting, sculpture, photography, and digital media. Rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the Indus Valley Civilization, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, Tashfeen's work interrogates human psychology, social injustice, and the lived experiences of marginalized communities.

Their signature approach blends figurative abstraction, cubist geometries, and vibrant color palettes, creating narratives that are both intimate and universally resonant.
