Saniya Farooq is a visual artist from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. In 2021, she graduated with a distinction in Bachelors of Fine Arts from The National College of Arts, Lahore, Pakistan. 

Her 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. Through this process, Saniya describes how each painting essentially illustrates a dialogue between her and her paints. 

She has exhibited her work in various group shows around Pakistan, with her latest shows being: Broadcast Volume II in ArtSpace, and ‘Around The Corner’ in Lahore, Pakistan.
