background

+ philosophy

My name is Noor Malik. As a Pakistani-Canadian artist, I find inspiration in the geometric patterns inherent to Islamic lands and explore the intricacies that connect cultures across borders. Rooted in the precision of ancient constructions, my art embraces a vibrant palette, challenging expectations and offering a contemporary twist on a timeless form.

This harmonious dissonance reflects the intersection of my dual identity: inviting viewers to ponder the evolving nature of cultural expression and the beauty that arises when tradition meets innovation.

Join me in celebrating diversity through the mesmerizing dance of colour and geometry, where unexpected colours breathe new life into age-old patterns.
