"Abstract rose bush on a pastel purple, blue and azure background" Painting

Fatimie Ashyrova is a contemporary artist based in Ireland. Working primarily in acrylic, oil, and mixed media, she explores light, colour, and emotional atmosphere through still life and abstraction.
After returning to painting later in life, Fatimie developed her practice through independent study alongside formal training in classical drawing and painting.
Her visual language is informed by modernist traditions and the work of Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, David Hockney, and Wayne Thiebaud.
Her current practice centres on two interconnected bodies of work: sunlit still lifes and floral abstractions.
Through simplified forms, vibrant colour relationships, and textured brushwork, she transforms everyday subjects into contemplative spaces filled with warmth, harmony, and quiet optimism.
Flowers, fruit, and domestic objects become vehicles for exploring the poetry of light and shadow, while her abstract paintings evoke emotional landscapes through layered surfaces and expressive colour.
Following her relocation to Ireland, Fatimie rebuilt her artistic practice and developed a distinct contemporary voice. Her paintings seek to offer moments of calm, reflection, and renewal.
