Echoes of light and stone

Artist Name: Zarmeen Ali Hashmi

About Artist:

I am Zarmeen Ali, and I have a deep passion for art — especially the kind that carries profound meaning and resonates deeply with human nature. In my view, art is all about what a person feels in a particular moment. Emotions alone have the power to transform even the darkest artwork into a masterpiece. To me, everyone possesses an artistic sense within them.

Artist Statement:

This artwork explores the interplay of light, shadow, and architectural structure, capturing the depth and grandeur of Mughal design. The warm, earthy tones highlight intricate carvings, arches, and domes, while the contrast between illuminated areas and soft shadows adds dimension and movement. Light filters through the structure, revealing delicate patterns and textures that emphasize the harmony between solidity and openness. Through this composition, I aim to showcase how light shapes perception, transforming rigid stone into a dynamic visual experience. This piece is a tribute to the beauty of architectural forms, where structure and shadow create a dialogue of depth and elegance. Through delicate brushwork and subtle contrasts, I seek to reflect both the intricacy and tranquility of these spaces, preserving their cultural significance in an expressive, painterly style.
