Saniya's work revolves around the tactile experience of painting, as the process is the key element in her work. With a special focus on light and shadows, she uses ‘drapery’ to amplify her painting experience by observing the folds, creases and curves closely to intricately render them. Saniya has spent time observing prominent work from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, specifically studying the use of fabric and drapery and through this process, she describes how each painting essentially illustrates a dialogue between her and her paints.
