Artist with a story
My website is currently undergoing updates and changes thank you for your patience and understanding to the limited information available…
Safiyyah Altaf
Artist, Storyteller, Poet, Printmaker, Pattern Designer, Workshop facilitator & Creative thinker
My practice allows me to tell story's of history, heritage and culture.
Through a creative journey that begins through intuitive research, finding unique stories within the environment around. Seeking hidden memories hiding in the natural world, museums, people & streets.
Inspiration from these artefacts become paintings or hand drawn motifs which then portray a imaginative spiritual narrative expressed through the world of mixed textile materiality.
The ethereal visual language I use aims to boost ordinary lifestyles by enhancing our mystic experience with the world around us.
