Meet the Artist
Shaheenur Khan
I’m Shaheenur Khan, a London-based emerging artist whose work flows between memory, emotion, and subconscious storytelling. With a background in architecture and a Master’s in Landscape Architecture, I’m constantly navigating how people inhabit both physical and internal spaces and how those spaces leave marks on us.
My practice is rooted in expressive, often surreal figurative work, where faces, forms, and colour fields speak what words can’t. My art lives in the quiet moments the pause between thoughts, the feeling just before a memory surfaces. I’m drawn to the tension between softness and intensity, and I use bold colours and layered textures to explore themes of identity, mental landscape, and emotional transformation.
Each piece I make is both personal and universal. I create not only to express, but to connect.

Traditional Drawings
This collection showcases my traditional sketching work exploring still life, street scenes, animal studies, pet portraits, and human anatomy. Focused on observational drawing, it reflects my interest in structure, gesture, and form through quick studies and detailed explorations. It’s one facet of my broader creative practice, driven by a curiosity for capturing life as it happens.

Original Paintings
My original paintings explore emotion, identity, and memory through expressive colour, layered textures, and symbolic forms. Blending figuration with abstraction, each piece is a personal and intuitive reflection—meant to evoke feeling before meaning.
Wall Painting
I created a custom wall painting for a private space, blending colour and mood to transform the room into something personal and expressive. My mural work adapts to the energy of the environment while still carrying my signature style.
Window Painting

and Teaching
Painting Workshops
I’ve had the opportunity to lead several art workshops, working with large and diverse groups across different ages and experience levels. These sessions focused on encouraging creative confidence, exploring various techniques—from sketching to painting—and making art feel approachable and enjoyable for everyone involved. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, inspiring environment where participants can express themselves freely, learn new skills, and connect through the shared experience of making. Teaching in these settings has deepened my understanding of how art can build community, spark ideas, and open up personal exploration.
