Mariam Qureshi

Mediums: Mixed Media, Oil and Watercolour

Mariam Qureshi is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist based in Edmonton, Canada whose works have been featured in solo exhibitions nationally, as well as in France, Austria, and Switzerland. In addition, her art has been featured in publications such as ARTSY Editorial Review and the television program Global News. Qureshi describes her abstract and surreal expressions as being based on the marks the subject has left on her or on the world.

Bold, spontaneous, textured paintings reflect Mariam’s interpersonal personality. A self-taught artist who paints from raw imagination and is inspired by the contemplations of life. Though oil and acrylics are mediums she often paints with, she has a very dynamic range of skills and mediums. She loves to also illustrate her expressions with wood burning and also paints with inks and watercolours. Her pieces are thought provoking and come in various sizes. All have a unique sense of abstract, movement and depth, which she finds satisfies her to create.

A humble, down to earth artist who loves to share her passion for the arts. Her method of painting is characterized by an immediacy of process and an urgency of vision, which she has been developing over several years. Despite the appearance of spontaneity, Qureshi’s technique involves constant assessment, measurement and exploration of colours and their configurations, combined with bold expressive markings, layers, scratches and strokes of oils or other variety of mediums.
