Art Portfolio

At the heart of my artistic pursuit is the creation of works that navigate the intersection of humanity, sustainability, and equity. Residing in Northern Virginia, with my origins rooted in Bangladesh, I am committed to utilizing my artistic platform to shape a more hopeful future for generations to come.

Still Life in Oil

Summer 2024

Pear & Berries

Oil on canvas panel.
11x 14 inch

I explored the interplay of texture and color using oil paint and a palette knife. Through this painting, I wanted to evoke a sense of simplicity and elegance, highlighting the often-overlooked beauty in everyday objects.

Empty Bottle

Oil on canvas.
11 x 14 inch

In "Empty Bottle," I sought to explore the delicate balance between transparency and opacity. The transparent glass bottle, central to the piece, stands as a symbol of emptiness and potential, its form subtly outlined yet open to interpretation. 

Lavender Love

Oil on canvas panel.
11 x 14 inch

In "Lavender Love," each stroke with the brush and palette knife was meant to convey the fragility and grace of the flowers, while the smoky backdrop adds a sense of depth and atmosphere, evoking a feeling of calm and introspection.

Ruined

Frottage with graphite and pastels on craft paper. 6 x 8 inch

The intriguing frottage sketch "Ruined" tackles issues of abandonment and decay. The artwork features elaborate textures created by rubbing against objects such as worn stone, cracked walls, and plastic nets. The composition captures the beauty inherent in decay, evoking feelings of melancholy and nostalgia. 

Memory

Graphite and ink on drawing paper.
8.5 x 11 inch

"Memory" is a moving illustration that skillfully uses the subtle interactions between graphite and ink to convey the spirit of an old cloth. The piece conveys a sense of nostalgia and history, as the worn fabric tells silent stories of its past.

Life

Charcoal, graphite, and gel pen on craft paper. 8.5 x 11 inch

"Life" is a drawing that portrays the timeless symbol of a tree, that stands as a metaphor for growth, resilience, and the cyclical nature of life, inviting viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the beauty of endurance.
