ABOUT

Tahmina is a portrait artist based in Oxford. Her commissions have included Oxford University professors, poets, novelists, musicians and individuals and families celebrating loved ones. She enjoys painting people of all ages.

​

'Using her palette as a pointillist painter, but running thin, individual strokes of contrasting colour rather than dots to highlight certain features, Tahmina adds colourful surprises to her canvases. The result is a work that shimmers with life. Her portraits are stunning, for not only does she secure the features that distinguish one sitter from another, she manages to bring out the inner person too.'

She trained over many years in London art schools as both a designer and artist and found her niche in portraiture, exploring her fascination with expressing an essence of the people she meets in drawing.
