Art beyond words: Bisma Hussain’s paintings reflect universal human emotions

Bisma Hussain’s artwork transforms the canvas into a mirror reflecting the complexity of human emotion. Her unique paintings, deeply anchored in her personal battles with chronic pain, social anxiety, and depression, reveal an intimate narrative of struggle and resilience. The vibrant hues and fluid forms she employs speak volumes, capturing the raw, emotional language of the human condition. Through her work, Hussain communicates an empathy that transcends individual experience, touching on the universality of emotions shared by many. It’s this very empathy that bridges her intention with the observer’s perception, creating a mutual understanding of the intricate emotions expressed in each piece.

Her artistic approach transforms physical shapes into metaphoric representations, idealizing the body as a blank slate upon which emotions are etched. The soul of her paintings is found in the vivid colors she so expertly wields, crafting an emotive dialogue that resonates on a subconscious level. Inspired by self-reflection and imaginative storytelling, her pieces encourage observers to relate to varied emotional states, suggesting that even in silence, there is profound communication. The silent cries and joys she encapsulates with her brush defy the constraints of societal norms, connecting with those who seek understanding and connection within the abstract patterns of her artistry.

The gestures, emotions and compositions that are putting the emphasis on the feeling I’m concerned in portraying; the body being the raw form and paint giving it a soul. Thus, developing some language. I choose these strategies by picturing myself in different situations and being empathetic toward countless people feeling the same way for countless reasons, so others (not just artists or art experts) feel seen and heard when they look at my work.
