Farah Jabeen

Farah Jabeen's Shehr-e-zat series, named after the storyteller in the Arabian Nights, harks back to a more authentic style of miniature painting. Jabeen captures the solitary lady of the romance in vivid detail, framing her within concentric circles surrounded by calligraphic designs and motifs. The series gains in complexity as the central figure of the woman fades into a whirlpool of patterns and colours, as if into a cosmic churning. Farah Jabeen has received her BFA from the National College of Arts Lahore.
