Fairooj Rushmila Suhita

Hi! I'm Fairooj Rushmila Suhita, an 18 year self-taught artist based in Bangladesh who has been making art ever since she could remember picking up her pen to draw wobbly scribbles of barbies. 

 

I love making art that comes directly from my emotions as a way to not only process the emotions but also to let go of them. I work with oil pastels, acrylic as well as digital mediums.

 

To me, art is a unique way to capture moments in my life that I can't speak about in words. I remember being a devastated six year old who spilled watercolor water on a painting she was proud of because it seemed perfect, cried her eyes out when it got stained and then was in awe of seeing the painting in a different light as an auntie told her that it made the painting even more beautiful. It's the raw and flawed nature of that painting that brought it to life.

​

This is one of my core memories which make me romanticize my life even when it's in shambles. Life is magical because of the fact that I live, breath and feel. I see life in colours because of my synesthesia and I use those colours to create. When I constantly feel the need to control every outcome of my life, my process of making art allows me to simply let go of that control and let the powerful chaos of my mind to take over.

 

Feel free to explore the artworks section of my portfolio to witness me dig out my most vile yet passionate emotions for mental peace and validation on the internet!
