Ariba Akhlaque is a visual artist based in Karachi, Pakistan. She graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Arts from The Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture in 2021 and specialised in New Media and Print Making. Her core mediums include cyanotype and scanography, while her technique is both traditional and digital. 

Her body of work explores the language of grief, loss and cherished memories through the depiction of ordinary objects that were once associated or owned by a departed loved one. These objects present in her work intend to breathe life into and celebrate lost moments. 

Ariba has now joined her family’s jewellery business and is now exploring fusing her printmaking into jewellery designs. Prints of cherished objects such as pomegranates and the Jasmine flower have been incorporated into her own line of intricate jewellery pieces in collaboration with Odd Bird Art. Her work has been exhibited in various group shows internationally including: ‘Extended Ear’ in Portland, Oregon and ‘Chrono’s Exhibition’ in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
