Ammama Malik, born in 1992 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, is a distinguished visual artist specializing in oil painting. She graduated with a degree in painting from the National College of Arts (NCA), Rawalpindi. Her academic background laid the foundation for her classical approach to art, deeply influenced by Renaissance and Baroque traditions.

Artistic Philosophy and Style
Malik describes her work as “painting for the sake of painting,” emphasizing the intrinsic value of the medium itself. Her art revives classical aesthetics, focusing on emotive brushwork, dramatic lighting, and precise realism. She often portrays subjects in dreamlike states, using drapery not only as a visual element but also as a symbol of concealment and protection. This approach creates a dialogue between historical art forms and contemporary themes.
