Lean in, listen and find connections
Amena’s practice has evolved into an ongoing conversation with those who encounter it. A full-time artist with a background in interior design, she was raised in Dubai and is an avid traveller and global citizen of Pakistani origin. Her diverse cultural experiences have shaped her perspective as a contemporary intuitive artist.
This journey of personal and professional growth continues to inform her work. With numerous exhibitions and major art fairs to her name, along with design achievements and published pieces in literary journals, Amena continues to expand and refine her creative practice.
Works held in private collections in Australia, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, and the United States.
Artwork Auctioned to a private collector for Make-a-Wish Australia Foundation
