In her decades-spanning practice, Zamania has explored sexuality and desire through different materials and mediums. After completing her master’s in fine arts from the University of Punjab (College of Art and Design), she began painting as a means of dealing with women’s empowerment in her surroundings. In her early work, she created lustful images of the female body, highlighting sexuality and pleasure as major themes. Zamania later experimented with abstraction and rendering in the vein of surrealism, using imagery and subconscious thoughts to create loose, non-linear narratives and expose the process of construction and deconstruction. Her work focuses on topics that are themselves processes, and in her artwork, she celebrates those transformations by centering artistic process. Zamania is currently teaching as an Assistant Professor at Comsats University Islamabad (Lahore Campus) at the Department of Art and Design.
Zamania’s artwork explores gender narratives through aesthetics, media, history, and personal experience. Engaging with themes of human sexuality, identity, and feminism, she examines how Eastern customs intersect or conflict with modern ideals.
Her work critiques consumerism, the gaze, and societal expectations of women, seeking to modernize their portrayal in fine arts. Moving fluidly between media, she favors painting and installation—traditionally patriarchal forms—redefining them to challenge cultural norms.
Emphasizing transformation, Zamania constructs non-linear narratives, exposing processes of construction and deconstruction. Her projects evolve through research and experimentation, deepening their complexity. Positioned within socio-political and art historical contexts, her work invites diverse interpretations, shaped by each viewer’s experience.
