Pakistani Artist Brings Unique Artworks to Dubai
Strong bold colors and sharp contrasts are the most striking facets of Faiza Shaikh’s collection of works on display at Capital Club on December 9, 2009. The London-based pakistani artist, whose works have been featured in a number of prestigious shows including shows at the BAFTA Awards and the World Bank, already has a dedicated following in Dubai.

Her art has a philosophical aspect to it as she takes couplets or excerpts from scriptures and translates them onto canvas. Her signature work is recognized by the use of gold and silver leaf scripted with the philosophical message. Bright and bold colors and strokes combine with the words to create a wildly positive energy in her work. The result is that the canvas takes on the appearance of lustrous silk.
