Neelum is a practising artist based at Backlit studios in Nottingham. She started her art practice when she accomplished B.A Honours Fine Art from University of Northampton in 2012. Coming from a South Asian background her artistic practise originated portraying Pakistani culture and society which has taken varied phases over time.

Neelum’s work carries transition which can be related to her own phases of life, reflections and thought processes. She indulges herself in that moment and translates her feelings through desired composition and colours in the form of figures/ portraiture. Her favourite pigment is Burnt Sienna about which she says, ‘A pigment reminiscent of ethnic origin, mixes with other colours yet retaining its identity.’
