Beauty of Seasons in Dreams at Unicorn Gallery
ART: Soraya Sikander painted the beauty of seasons in dreams with her masterful artistry and her ability to develop a deep and vivid imagery of unusual contrasts.
In her recent range of work titled “Inscape 2018” exhibited at the Unicorn Gallery, she has used her skill with oil on canvas to redefine even the most signature images associated with the season of fall and its various chapters. From the proverbial naked forest at dusk to the lazy sunset of the winters; the avant-garde abstraction born from November rain on the window sill to the fragrance of the spouting flowers on the canvas from her hands, she has created a stunning collection.
