Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a vibrant, pink-hued background with ornate, decorative elements. The central focus is a portrait of a young woman with a serious, contemplative expression. She is wearing a simple black jacket, which contrasts with the grandiose, gilded frame surrounding her. The artist's style combines realism in the portrait with a surreal, dreamlike quality in the background, creating a striking and thought-provoking piece. The work appears to explore themes of identity, introspection, and the tension between the individual and the ornate social constructs that envelop them. ...

Faiza Butt

B.1973, Pakistani

Born in 1973 in Lahore, Pakistan, Faiza Butt trained at the National College of Arts in Lahore and later obtained a master’s degree with distinction at the Slade School of Art in London. She also received a teaching certificate from the Institute of Education. Although living in London, Butt’s Pakistani roots are clearly evident in her work as she brings to our attention various social, gender and political issues faced by a young Pakistani. In the past, her work has taken a critical look on the stronghold of the patriarchal society in Pakistan and the impact of violent images, which appear regularly in all forms of media, on children. Butt’s elaborate drawings are obsessively crafted with passion and rigour, and create surfaces that hover between photography and embroidery. ...
