Hana Azim
Statement
As an artist, I take inspiration from the simplicity of daily life and find beauty in the ordinary.
My work is influenced by my cultural upbringing as an Indian-American as well as the simple pleasures of day-to-day life. I capture these experiences through my illustrations. Things like the bakery I passed on my way to school, the fishes in a restaurant aquarium, the kitchen in the pages of an Ikea catalog. Traveling to new places also fuels my creativity and provides me with a fresh perspective. I am always open to new ways of seeing the world, and I like to incorporate these experiences into my art. By creating illustrations of the food I ate, the animals I saw, and the scenery I enjoyed in the places I visited, I tell a story that inspires a sense of wonder and discovery.
I strive to capture moments and stories that are fun, playful, and vibrant, evoking a sense of warmth and joy in the viewer.
