Voluntary Discipline Painting

Naqsh Raj is an artist, educator and a mother, currently teaching at the Art & Design department at Nottingham Trent International College. She has a Master’s Degree in Visual Arts from the prestigious National College of Arts, Lahore. Served in Pakistan as an Art educator for ten years at Comsats University, Islamabad. Naqsh believes in the strong connection between visual aesthetics and ethics, which are in a continuous process of reform. Her ongoing work is a union of mechanical and manual methods of painting, repeating a mundane technique for imprint making with human hands is the symbolism in her imagery. Possessing an empty space through relentless exertion has been her prime interest and embracing imperfection is a natural part of her current art practice. Naqsh is also a member of Primary, an artist-led contemporary visual arts organisation based in the United Kingdom.
