Artist overview

Aliya Khan was born in Lahore, where tradition and transformation walk hand in hand. Her paintings are not loud—they whisper. Women in her works are often barely visible: camouflaged into wallpaper, merging with carpets, or lost in architectural details. But they are there—present, enduring, essential. Khan's work explores the silent strength of women within domestic and political spheres. Using oil on canvas with soft tonal transitions and layered glazes, she builds atmospheres where emotion and power coexist quietly. Her style blurs visibility, making the viewer question what is seen and what is overlooked. Her influences include miniature painting, textile patterns, and the stories told between generations of women. Each piece carries an emotional weight hidden behind stillness. Her paintings have exhibited in Karachi, Dubai, and Berlin, and her collectors include human rights institutions and private patrons with a strong interest in feminist narratives.

Artwork information

This painting captures the quiet erasure of women in domestic life—not through violence, but through a thousand small silences. Reclining in the safety of her home, the figure blends into the textures of her surroundings until only the suggestion of a body remains. The comfort becomes a veil.
