About Artist and Work Process:
Mashal is a Lahore-based Architect-Interior Designer-Artist . she is currently also teaching in the department of architecture at the National College of Arts, Lahore.
Her artwork is the continuation of the tradition of Persian Illumination. The idea was inspired by the traditional floral compositions of the Tezhip and the compositions are designed around the names of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) in various calligraphy scripts. The name of the series “Flowers of Heaven” comes from her fascination with the metaphorical nature of Tezhip compositions and their interpretation of the Garden of Eden through geometry and light.
