A fearless exploration of different mediums and styles
From surrealism to cubism, aboriginal motifs to abstract forms, her work explores a wide spectrum of artistic expression. Utilising materials such as gold ink, pastels, acrylics, watercolors, and charcoal, she imbues her pieces with a sense of texture and depth, inviting viewers into a world of sensory exploration.
Through her art, Sheikha invites audiences to ponder the interconnectedness of it all, reminding us of our shared humanity, and the cosmic dance of life!
Sheikha’s art is all about patterns and connections. Her pieces often have shapes that repeat and link together, like sacred geometry. Looking at her work can feel like a peaceful meditation, taking you to a spiritual place beyond the everyday.
Plus, she will literally paint on anything!

Each one of her exhibitions is a testament to her artistic prowess, and her ability to spark meaningful dialogue through her work.
Most recently, one of her first ever solo shows at the British Club gallery, captivated guests to quickly visit the one-day-exhibition, and force everything to sell out in less than an hour.
Now that’s commendable!

What a visionary force to be reckoned with!
As she continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression, Sheikha inspires us all to embrace the beauty of diversity and the power of artistic expression.
“One step at a time, one day at a time. Just be you and a better you than you were yesterday”
