Fozia is an oil painter based in Leeds and London. Her work is an inspiration from the times she’s spent gardening as a young girl with her grandma, thus projecting ideas surrounding memory and femininity through her paintings. She is focused highly on the layering and soaking of canvases, through the layers of oil paint, starting from a washy base to thicker one to end. This is resemblant of the depth embedded within concepts of memory as well as the consideration of what femininity means in a modern day society.

Her work is argued to be a protest of the discreditation towards decorative arts within the contemporary art world, often being perceived as ‘unserious’. This is merged with the concepts of femininity with colours stereotypically attributed to women, such as pink, and ideas of the floral have been scrutinised and deemed unserious within real life.

She is interested in the subjects of florals, linking to femininity and memory.
