About this artwork

Captured the quiet moment of two backstage ballerinas as they prepare, sitting and lacing up their pointe shoes. The painting contrasts rich red and crimson tones with the soft whites of their tutus, highlighted by delicate pink reflections.

About the artist

Avatar for Faiqa Uppal

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.
