Humaira Hussain, a Pakistani-Irish professional contemporary artist, was born in Pakistan in 1963 and later moved to Ireland to pursue her education. She graduated with honors and postgraduate degrees in Fine Arts and Migration Diaspora Cultural Studies from Punjab University and the University of Ireland, respectively. Currently residing between London and Dubai, she serves as the International Fine Arts Director for Forever Rose London.
Humaira masterfully paints nature with peace in the wilderness. Using vibrant colors and a meticulous process, she captures her expression, generating energy and optimism. Through calculated asymmetrical endeavors and exploratory strokes, she unites discovery and fulfillment. The essence of her subject matter transcends over the surface of the canvas with dynamic vigor and buoyant expression. Her command of technique, stylistically playful composition, and use of brilliant colors add compelling life to her artwork. She has credited many solo and group exhibitions, showcasing her work in the UK, Pakistan, Ireland, UAE, Lebanon, and Paris.
“When I paint nature with peace in wilderness, I feel inspired to create a harmonious and joyful community. My compositions burst sensuality and life. I can see them as exuberant souls. Rich colours inspire me most, and then to compose the community from the heart, is what keeps the process fresh and new. As I develop my thought processes and start new paintings, I am more inclined towards paradisiacal perfection and the feeling of submerging into the wonders of winsome, “WOW”.
There is something truly celebratory about flowers, birds and butterflies, there is liveliness. Their transitory nature makes the moment an occasion that deserves to be savoured and remembered with attention and care, drama and boldness. Throughout the painting process I remain aware of this and invest the painting with experience of the moment.
Spare composition focus on a moment of elegance, harmony and dignity. The aesthetic pleasure of illuminated colours and forms is oblivious in my paintings. I am also interested in beauty, it is something people respond to, it is uplifting and hopeful… the desire for it is universe. Nature elevates level of beauty, which moves us and evoke notes of aspiration to vibrate within us.
