Biography
I am an Economics graduate and self-taught artist from the Maldives, represented by Oevaali Art Gallery. My work blends abstract, expressionist, and contemporary styles, creating a distinct visual language.
Artist Statement
My early work explored the beauty of ocean life. As my artistic journey evolved, I shifted towards more expressive and bold uses of colour, creating pieces that evoke energy, movement, and emotion. My work invites collectors to experience the profound connection between nature, feelings, and colour.
