I’m Nishat Nailah, born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I practise architecture as my profession. Art is where I follow my curiosity, in ink and pastel and now in digital.

I am a quiet observer of people and of myself. I am self-taught. I came to it because nothing else let me speak, not words, writing or movement. Drawing became my language, the one I reached for when no other form of expression could hold what I felt.

Most of my work is self-portraiture, a way of capturing a moment, a mood or a version of myself. Some of it lives in black and white and some in colour.
