Sabina Zeba Haque is an artist of South Asian descent raised in Pakistan by an American mother and a Pakistani father. Haque’s artwork combines photography, collage and painting to synthesize her complex relationship to her diverse Christian and Muslim heritage.  Haque’s work adopts the decorative patterns and ancient imagery of the Indian and Persian Miniature painting to depict the complex urban and domestic landscapes of the contemporary world. Haque blends the Indo-Persian miniature tradition by collaging modern-day mass-produced photography, advertising poster art and urban kitsch.  The result is a compelling set of “twinnings” between east and west, feminine and masculine, modernity and tradition, original and copy, secular and religious.  

Media: collage, mixed media 2D, oil
