A humanitarian, creative cook, fashionista, artist, Jamila Zanna Muhammad has been painting on fabrics for almost 30 years and occasionally does some canvas paintings.
The coronavirus lockdown sparked her inspiration to embark on full-time acrylic and oil canvas and mixed medium paintings on canvas and she not only loves it but is obsessed and passionate in expressing her love and understanding of humanity and her environment.
Jamila’s paintings are abstract and metaphysical with deep linkage between what we are and what we ought to be, what we are and what we wish to be. With the overall expression of our common humanity.
Jamila is a member of the Rochester and West Kent Art Society and has exhibited numerous times with co-Artists in the United Kingdom.
Presentation & Exhibition: The Power of Herbs in Contemporary Art
Nature’s artistry invites us to appreciate the beauty that often goes unnoticed. The story of herbs in art and culture is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and plants, and the stories they tell.
As an artist, Jamila is captivated by the role herbs have played in shaping her artistic and cultural heritage. Despite all the technological breakthroughs, Jamila believes that handmade art will not disappear. She believes one of the key themes will be ecology and environmental preservation. Let the art and culture of herbs inspire you to see these botanical treasures not just as ingredients or remedies but as sources of beauty, symbolism, sustainability, cultural identity and the connection between humans and creativity.
Join Jamila as we delve into the world of herbs in art and culture, uncovering the stories and inspiration that these botanical treasures have infused into our lives.
In Jamila’s workshop session, we will create a joint artwork.
