Shafnaz Mohamed Shiraz

Artist 

​

Shafnaz Shiraz discovered her artistic calling during the COVID-19 lockdown, a time that rekindled her fascination with the world's natural landscapes and led her to painting. Drawn towards the arts from a young age, it was the pandemic's enforced isolation that truly allowed her to explore her creative potential. Her art focuses on idealized versions of landscapes from around the globe, capturing the intricate beauty of mountains and oceans and their ability to evoke solitude and reflection.

 

Shafnaz's artistic style is heavily influenced by her admiration for nature's complex wonders, from the serene snow-capped mountains to the rhythmic dance of ocean waves. This connection to nature is a central theme in her work, aiming to immerse viewers in both the beauty and the elemental wildness of the natural world. Her major artistic influence comes from the natural environment itself, which she studies extensively to enhance the authenticity and emotional depth of her paintings.

 

As part of the Meet the Artists collective, she aspires to connect with fellow art lovers, sharing her passion and creating a nurturing space for artistic growth and meaningful exchanges.

 

Looking forward, Shafnaz is excited about developing a conceptual series of collections, transitioning from standalone pieces to themed series that reflect coherent, overarching concepts. This new direction signifies her growth as an artist and her desire to challenge herself creatively while engaging more deeply with her audience.
