Hello!
MY NAME IS MARYAM
I am a British-Canadian Artist who has been passionate about art for over 10 years. With a background in art and textiles, I enjoy creating mixed media pieces with lots of depth and variety.
I have enjoyed experimenting with various mediums that can be manipulated and layered for more visual appeal. My use of gold leaf has allowed me to learn ways of transforming its finish from gold to oxidized teals and blue with beautiful results.
Islamic geometry, which itself has so much history and value in Islamic Art, is a central theme to my work.
This is what makes my work unique, piece to piece.
I have collaborated with various Islamic calligraphy artists to use their works on my art. They are masters in their craft and have helped to elevate my vision even further. It has been an honor to work with them and I credit them here.
Calligraphy created by Artist Nihat Kagnici and Artist Haluk Ozkan.
Thank you taking time to get to know me
