In today’s “One day, one work”, we enter a world where nature is not a subject—but a guide, a language, a way of being.
Our highlight is 'Resonance Of Being' (2025) by Wardha Shabbir.
At first glance, Wardha Shabbir’s work could be confused with a colorful portrait of nature, landscapes of flamboyant and lush forests, executed with the precision of a miniaturist. But in Shabbir’s meticulous pictorial language, trees are much more than a mere static representation. The artist is rooted in the process, in time, in evolution, in growth, and in her work lies a desire for survival: “The source of my creative stimulus lies in the evolution of a tree; visually adopting it as an emblem of resistance and allowing it to teach me hope”, as the artist states.
Wardha Shabbir’s paintings can be read like maps, enriched by a multitude of leaves, dots and lines that compose them. The alluring green vegetation and vivid tones create interactive images that linger in the viewer’s mind and the frames themselves become more than just surrounding spaces of the paper, they are a continuity of the canvas.
