Tiger’s head kenzan

Misbah Ahmed is a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer based in Toronto. Her practice is expressed through sentimental observations of life that are imbued with symbols and references that move across personal and historical domains. Themes in her work examine dualities, nature, shifting cultural landscapes and everyday human experiences. She interrogates such themes by exploring and imagining narratives within the Pakistan diaspora and other communities of colour existing in liminal spaces. Her practice primarily involves oil paint and ceramic sculpture, where her creative process and methodologies combine modern and traditional techniques. Her body of work has sought to maintain and continue generational practices, while simultaneously using these practices as a vehicle for reconnecting with ancestral landscapes.
