In the artist’s words:
My name is Amna Urooj. I am from Lahore, Pakistan, where I am currently doing an MFA (Hons) in Visual Arts from the University of Punjab in Lahore. My work has been exhibited and featured nationally and internationally. I usually work with mix media, acrylic and oil on canvas. Being obsessed with nature, colors and dots, the main emphasis of my work is “Meditation”, focusing on colors and dots as a practice of visual meditation. The basic concept of the work is to seek healing and comfort and escape from anxiety. For me, the process of doing the work, the repetition of the dots, distracts my thoughts in a practice of visual meditation.
