About the artist
Two worlds, one visual language.
Nadia Shaukat’s practice moves fluidly between abstraction and representation, drawing on Mughal-era painting and Western modernists to explore bold colour and layered visual narratives.
- ✓Painting & sculpture spanning abstraction and representation.
- ✓Installation & photo collage — archiving the outer and inner world.
- ✓Held internationally in public and private collections.
