I'm Xandria, a UK based Pakistani artist with a bit of insane obsession with lines, basic forms, and their therapeutic repetition, which is a strong base in my art. I love exploring the beauty and simplicity that can be found in these simple elements and in organic textures around us. My art is a reflection of my inner thoughts and emotions. Through my works, I aim to evoke a sense of harmony and introspection, offering a moment of contemplation and tranquility in an increasingly chaotic world. After spending more than three decades in search of the missing element, I recently found my passion in combining my background in Social Sciences and Arts to stimulate cognitive abilites in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. This encouraged me to launch a local venture Sips & Smiles
However, when I'm not creating art, I can usually be found lost in nature chasing loud silence, watching the stationery motion of the sky, or reading poetry while sipping my sabz kahwa.
And when I am struggling to paint, I cook like mad.
