about

Shaikha is a Bahraini multidisciplinary artist, currently working in the Peak District. Shaikha evokes a sense of fluidity and movement in her oil paintings. Through her colourful creations she explores abstraction inspired by her surrounding nature as well as her rich cultural heritage. Her video work is more experimental, often weaving conceptual notions of her identity and location. The same experimental nature applies to her written poetry artworks, as they themselves are formed in an attempt to subvert the traditional way of writing poems.
