Biography
Born in 1990,Pakistan,Lahore
Momina acquired BFA degree from the best art institute of Pakistan National College of Arts (NCA) with the award of Honours. Momina resides in Lahore where she works as a professional miniature painter and a free-lance artist. Momina also practised and studied oil-painting,print-making,sculpture, photography at NCA with art history as her major subject. She was one of the best students from her batch, awarded scholarships throughout her four years of academics. Momina says : Her work initially evolved around the psychological theory of cognitive dissonance; where the bulk of relationships among a person's cognitions are dissonant, as a single cognition follows from the opposite of another. During my miniature practice at National college of Arts (NCA) I keenly observed this fascinating subtle cognition in the classical miniature paintings where a very cruel and harsh subject was painted in a beautifully fine manner. Hence, this subtle coalition of beauty and ugliness became a salient feature in my work. Later with a shift from 2D to a 3D surface when she started miniature technique on bones (being the first one to do that) her subject spread to the prevailing environment where no matter what ever is going around she says: "it is still green on my land".
She struggled to become a female artist it was not very easy for her due to the social and political condition of her country; but she continues with head held high with Hope.
