Aaleen Atif

Aaleen Atif is an artist specialising in illustration and animation. Currently based in Berlin, where she is pursuing her master’s in visual communication design, she continues to draw from her roots in Lahore, the historic, cultural, and aesthetic centre of the Subcontinent. Her work is informed by the detail-oriented play of miniature paintings which subvert conventional perspective. Aaleen’s art delves into the subconscious mind and a spirituality inspired by the divine feminine. Her artistic space and online persona (@fridakhala) demonstrate a boldly confrontational and ultimately humanist idealism, which manifests in the multicultural influences that inform her deeply personal expression.
