Hello, I’m Amina – an artist and photographer based in Karachi. My work is an exploration of life, light, and landscape – both internal and external.

Although I’ve always had a connection to art—through school, work, and at home—I deliberately chose not to follow the art school route. Since then, I’ve explored a range of paths, including a degree in Communication & Design, as well as yoga, marketing, photography, video, writing, then a degree in Psychology (random, yes), and teaching art to children. I began painting seriously in 2024 as a way to reconnect with my creative practice. 

My latest series of paintings is an exploration of the city’s coastline—the sand, the sea, and my own social world. Always drawn to light and shadow, life and beauty, this collection became a reflective meditation on the passage of time, on access and privilege, and on the search for pockets of nature, freedom, and expanse in this ocean of concrete I call home.

Now, I’m continuing to navigate this creative life – integrating my various practices and keeping myself open to the magic that is inspiration.
