Artist – Beenish Malik: Wildlife Enthusiast with a Heart for Abstract Art

Hailing from Pakistan and now residing in Dubai, Beenish Malik is a compliance professional by day and a self-taught artist at heart. Balancing two contrasting worlds, her artistic journey is deeply inspired by nature and wildlife, which comes to life in her expressive acrylic paintings. Her fascination with animals and their natural habitats is evident in her striking depictions of a leopard and horses, on display at the exhibition. For Beenish, art serves as a creative outlet and a means of connecting with the natural world around her.
