About Ayesha Feisal

“Art is where we discover and express our humanity; a place where we find a language to share our ideas and our emotions. It has the responsibility of helping society deal with its conflicts and contradictions. As an artist, I see it as my role to facilitate this”

Ayesha Feisal is a British/ Sierra Leonean artist born in London, where she currently lives and works. Within her art, Feisal creates complex, amorous forms, drawing inspiration from the study of behaviour and the mind, whilst exploring the effects of experience. Influenced by the painting styles of the expressionist and futurist movement; her intrigue comes from how artists of such eras depicted meaning and experience; as well as movement and time. As a result, she displays intense – and sometimes unnatural – colors as a way to heighten the emotion in her work.

Feisal’s art is reflective of her interest in psychological states and she uses the human form as a means to explore the psyche. Her works have been an ongoing response to events and situations; influenced by her interest in consciousness, universal law, balance and truth. She is drawn to portray characters with elevated mind sets, who move beyond the impact of circumstance, environment and social condition.
