About Faryal:

Growing up in London, I was always surrounded by a buzz that just seemed to inspire me. I wanted to express myself through creativity, colour and movement.

After working in the world of fashion for a while I decided to listen to my heart and follow my dream of becoming an artist.

I get a lot of joy from seeing peoples faces light up when they see one of my pieces for the first time. To know that something I have created on canvas has made someone smile or drift off in thought makes me happy.
I consider my art to be a mixture of moods and textures. Sometimes pretty, sometimes mysterious and other times wild and abstract.
As an artist I have grown and my style has evolved over the years, but always, it’s been about creating something unique and exciting. My style continues to evolve and I constantly strive to create more exciting pieces of work.
I take inspiration from almost anything. The sudden change in weather, the colour of a flower, walking down a high street and smelling food being cooked and hearing the sounds of different music being played, absorbing the vibrant atmosphere of the diversity in London.
Painting a piece of original art is such a personal creative expression that comes from the heart. I like nothing more than building a picture in my mind and realizing it on canvas.
