Zaheda Mirza
I am a London-based Illustrator and animator who is highly passionate about basic Human rights, especially the rights of children. Through my extensive travel, I have had first-hand experience of the sufferings of children worldwide.
My artwork contains bright and strong coloured imagery that represents a vibrant, inspiring and engaging way for children to learn. I choose to display graphic and bold statements with gentle and fun interactive illustrations, thus simplifying the complexity of phrases such as ‘Freedom to feel safe’ or ‘Freedom to have a home’.
My practice is inspired by the natural world; Sun, Sea, Mountains, Lake. I tried to incorporate the ‘Fauvism’-style art to create colourful images of the great outdoors and thus inspire children to enjoy nature.
Media used: Traditional media such as Watercolour as well as software including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Animate, In-design and Fresco (On my iPhone).
