About this artwork
Inspired by the Impressionists and incorporating Post-Impressionism in my work, I have a deep affection for painting ballet dancers with a contemporary touch. It was a great opportunity to visit Degas’s birthplace, Paris, where I had the chance to see his works at the Louvre Museum. It was mesmerizing to witness not only Degas’s work but also that of many other masters of Impressionism and Post-Impressionist artists.

About the artist
After completing my Master's in Fine Arts with distinction from Punjab University, Lahore, I embarked on a new chapter in 2007, moving to the UK to continue my practice while freelancing as an art tutor. Before relocating, I had a robust career spanning over 12 years as a lecturer in fine arts. Alongside my teaching career, I worked as a visualiser/designer in a software house, further honing my creative skills. Reflecting on the past 16 years, the change in environment has influenced my artistic development, nurturing an interest in the excitement of dance and the beauty of the natural world.
