Alyina Zaidi

[ b. 1995 ]

is a London-based artist from New Delhi and Srinagar. Her paintings reflect her cross-cultural background — she has lived in India, the USA, and is now based in the UK. Zaidi describes her works as expansive fictional landscapes and zoomed-in scenes of a world she has created. This world is partly drawn from memories of her homes in Kashmir and Delhi, from dreams, and from pure imagination. Zaidi received her BA from Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts in 2017 and MA Fine Art Painting from Royal College of Art, London in 2021. Her group exhibitions include an upcoming show at Newchild Gallery, April 2022; Tomorrow 2021, White Cube, London, 2021; Wet Paint, Bowes Parris Gallery, 2020 and When Snowdrops Rise, Mapa Fine Art Gallery, Netherlands, 2021 amongst others.
