Artist Name: Ayesha Asif
About Artist:
In the school art room, you’ll find me immersed in my work every day, playing volleyball outside, or occasionally in the classroom. I am an A-Level student at BCP Abbottabad, studying Mathematics, Physics, and Art and Design, and I look forward to pursuing architecture in the future. The gratifying process of creating an art piece, topped with appreciation from my peers and teachers, makes my college art experience incredible. My passion for art has led me to seize this opportunity to show people the world through my lens, using my artwork.
Artist Statement:
My painting, “Reflections of the City,” explores how architecture, light, and reflections combine to create a unique view. I was inspired by my own experience navigating the local streets of my city, which captivated me with their intricacies. A convex mirror installed on a wall becomes a portal to a distorted yet fascinating world, transforming a familiar street into a curved, dreamlike landscape. I experimented with the expressive qualities of watercolor to capture the fleeting effects of light on the mirror. With this work, I hope to inspire people to look at everyday familiar scenes from a new perspective.
