Ramsha Rubbani (PK)

Ramsha Rubbani is a visual artist based in Pakistan who is known for her ink drawings on archival paper. With meticulous attention to detail, she uses the finest parallel lines in black and a few additional colors to weave architectural motifs into her iconographic works. Christian imagery is often at the forefront of her work, with themes of spirituality and symbolism woven into a modern, personal context. Through her references to nature and instinct, she celebrates both intuition and the subconscious.

Rubbani’s works focus on a subversive, contemporary representation of iconographic Renaissance works, while avoiding any interpretation of iconoclasm. Through line-based, geographical processes, she combines religious imagery with abstract geometric designs, allowing empty silhouettes and repetitive linear processes to tell the story. Her technique focuses on hatching and line drawings, creating these figures through silhouettes and a limited color palette.
