LONDON: Pakistani miniature artist Maheen Elahi has said that her arts work is a deep reflection of South Asia’s oldest arts form that focusses on peace, tranquillity and bliss through solitude.
Maheen Elahi has unveiled her latest exhibition, Reimagined Realities, in London, presenting a collection of works that explore peace, solitude and transformation through the centuries-old tradition of South Asian miniature painting.
The exhibition is being held at The Gallery at Green & Stone in Central London and marks Elahi’s first major showcase since graduating from the prestigious National College of Arts, one of South Asia’s leading art schools.
At just 24, Elahi is already drawing attention in artistic circles for her detailed gouache paintings on wasli paper, a traditional hand-prepared surface associated with classical miniature art.
Elahi is also the granddaughter of renowned Pakistani painter Saeed Akhtar, one of Pakistan’s most celebrated visual artists.
