Umaina Khan

A Karachi-based contemporary painter, performance artist, and curator who graduated from Indus Valley School. Known for her vibrant palette and exploration of the female body, she comments on gaze and objectification while mentoring students at AIFD and IVS. Her nude forms emphasize individuality and self-discovery, challenging idealized beauty standards through exaggerated postures that convey self-acceptance. Using candies and desserts as inspiration, she critiques the objectification of female bodies while creating self-reflective artistic forms.
