Converting broken things into art

Tabish Aijaz Khan is a MBBS student and a self-taught artist from Islamabad, Kashmir. For her, being a doctor is her dream-job but art is her real passion. Though she has been painting eversince she was a child, but after 2016 she restarted it with full fervour. One of the niches in her art is her usage of different things like bird feather, Chinar leaves, stones, eggshells, etc. Her goal is to give voice to the unheard through her cultivated talent.

 

 

Wall-decoration from the waste plate. Why throw broken things away when they can be turned into beautiful stuff?

 

 

This one is chinar leaf art. It depicts the starry night, the signature of Kashmiri conflict, and the architecture of its houses.

Canvas painting. Wooden houses, chinar leaf, mountains of kashmir.

 

This one is on egg shell where I painted the jungle on it. If we have the skill, we can convert anything to a thing of beauty.

 

 

Chinar leaf art: I used acrylics on it. It portrays the dead of the night in kashmir.

 

 


Feather art: Here I made a woman who aspires to be independent and achieve high wings of success.

 

 

A Kashmiri woman whose face is blemished with pallets. Her only crime is that she wants her rightful space in the world.

 

 

This one is a calligraphy of letter “alif”. I have tried to depict it as a straight path between humans and divine Providence.
