My name is Shifa Petiwala. A fashion designer by profession and an artist by passion.
My artistic focus revolves around creating abstract prints and paintings that draw inspiration from the human form, predominantly emphasizing the feminine aspect or the female body, the emotions we go through, and the feelings we feel.
My work is a celebration of discovering art in the elements that surround me. Influenced by the people I meet, the stories that unfold in conversations, and the emotions I experience and share with these people, I strive to translate my vision onto canvas in a way that is open to perceptions – through vibrant colors and textures.

Incorporating nudity into my artistic expression serves as a profound means of self-validation and empowerment. The choice to portray the human form without inhibitions is a deliberate and conscious decision, driven by a personal journey towards embracing my own body and encouraging others to do the same. By capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the feminine aspect, I aim to challenge societal norms and redefine conventional standards of beauty. Each stroke on canvas becomes a form of self-affirmation, a celebration of the unique qualities and experiences that make us human.
