Rahila Zeeshan

Rahila Zeeshan is a Textile Artist from Pakistan. Travelling across three countries after leaving Pakistan, Rahila and her family came to Melbourne in 2018, where she has been inspired by its Arts culture and activities which embraces everyone from different walks of life.

“Melbourne embraces everyone! This beautiful city has urged me to revive my long lost passion of visual Arts. I like to create artwork with bold colours on any theme that inspires me”.

Rahila usually uses Acrylic, ink and watercolour, but enjoys many innovative and experimental art forms. Landscapes, still life and abstract painting are her most favourable genre. Being lived in metropolitan city all her life, the bustling vibes of busy city has always inspired her.
