Biography
Born in 1992, Ammama Malik is an accomplished oil painter who earned her distinction by majoring in painting at the esteemed National College of Arts, Rawalpindi in 2016. Building upon her foundation, she further honed her skills with a transformative experience at the Florence Academy of Arts in 2018, immersing herself in an intensive studio program.
Ammama's artistry is a manifestation of her unwavering devotion to the timeless act of painting itself, a pursuit that pays homage to the core essence of this revered craft. While her compositions and subjects are distinctly contemporary, she artfully places words and concepts on the periphery, allowing the rich strokes of her brush to command the spotlight. This deliberate approach speaks volumes about her dedication to the traditional style that she embraces.
Her creations are a harmonious blend of the present and the past, with a clear resonance of the Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces that have left an indelible mark on her artistic spirit. Each stroke exudes drama and emotion, meticulously executed with a level of precision that reflects her commitment to excellence. These works not only evoke a sense of nostalgia for the eras that have shaped her, but also assert their prominence amidst the sea of contemporary art, making them stand out as true testaments to her remarkable talent.
