Meet Haneefah
Tradition, seen through a contemporary lens.
Haneefah Usmani is a London-based artist whose practice brings the precision of Islamic geometry into conversation with the storytelling traditions of Persian miniature painting.
Working slowly and by hand, she creates richly layered pieces shaped by pattern, memory and close observation.
