Fadilah graduated with a Master’s in Fine Art in 2018 and held her first solo exhibitiom at the age of 25. – PICTURE COURTESY OF FADILAH KARIM
FADILAH Karim is in love with life – the ordinary contemporary life that mirrors unostentatious brushstrokes of 19th-century realism rather than romanticised kaleidoscopic lenses.
Many of Fadilah’s paintings of herself as the main protagonist are often rendered in a pensive gaze, with insouciant gaiety full of longing yet shying away from making eye contact with the viewer.
