Constructing elaborate dream-like scenes, Alyina Zaidi's expansive fictional landscapes draw on the memories she has growing up between New Delhi and Srinagar.
Zaidi's intuitive paintings of natural scenes populated with flowing rivers, flowers, and plants have caught increasing attention since her graduation from the Royal College of Art in London with an MFA in 2021. Influenced by her time spent in Kashmir, along with the traditions of miniature painting, Zaidi's porous paintings respond to her surrounding environments.
