I am Samia Rashid Hai. I was born in Dhaka Bangladesh in 1983. I am a self-taught artist. I started to draw and paint when I was 10 years old and after 10 years of painting, I somehow stopped. After a break of 15 years, at the age of 35, I started painting again. And I am glad that I did that. I felt I am once again alive. Since then I have participated in Art Exhibitions in Bangladesh, one of my Art was selected in the Guto Ajayo Culture, October 2021 Art Book and I am thrilled to also participate in the International Contemporary Exhibition “PARAISO” in Milan, 2021.
I mostly do abstract painting with acrylic and oil paints. I love to play with the colors and dabble on the canvas with brushes and palette knives. I take my inspiration from the things I see and feel around me and try to paint my emotions and feelings. It feels great to see my thoughts on the canvas and I feel like the colors are speaking to me. I love having conversations with my paintings. They are my love letters to the world.
