Silent Watchers of the Night

Artist Name: Maryam Akthar

About Artist:

My name is Maryam, a passionate artist who enjoys painting and photography. I love old things like music from the 90s and 60s, and antique things. I like peaceful nights, and expressing myself freely. Growing up with my brothers made me a tomboy, which I don’t mind at all. In fact, I love it; it shaped who I am, made me stronger, and truly myself.

Artist Statement:

This image shows a grand, old structure standing quietly under the night sky. The statues and stairs feel almost alive, like they are watching over the place, holding untold stories from the past. The soft glow of light against the dark sky creates a mysterious yet peaceful feeling. It’s a moment frozen in time silent, powerful, and full of history.
