Tashfeen Rizwan

I am Tashfeen Rizwan, a visual artist, curator, and writer born in Larkana, Pakistan—the land of the Indus Valley Civilization and Mohenjo-Daro. My art carries the weight of this heritage while speaking to the present moment, where survival, resistance, and human emotion define our shared experience.

I work in abstract, figurative cubism, and neo-Expressionism portraiture, creating vibrant geometric forms that reflect both suffering and resilience. For me, painting is not just creation—it is rebellion. Each canvas becomes a battlefield where figures confront me with questions of injustice, identity, and survival, and where I respond with color, intensity, and imagination.

For more than sixteen years, I have practiced across disciplines—painting, murals, sculpture—while also engaging as a curator and critic. My journey has brought international recognition: fifty of my works are preserved as NFTs in a private museum in France, and in 2024, one of my paintings was selected as the official wallpaper for the HONOR200 smartphone, awarded $250.

My path continues to expand globally, with exhibitions such as the BIEAF in South Korea, an invited 10-day residency and exhibition in India, and VIP preview access to The Armory Show in New York and Volta Basel in Switzerland 2025. Through my work, I remain committed to reimagining Mohenjo-Daro in a modern voice, preserving cultural memory while confronting the realities of our time.
