Painter
Visual artist
Khaula Siddique is a self-taught local artist of South Asian descent, whose Rumi-inspired work reflects her interest in the natural world and the nature of all things. She loves bringing art to the community and achieves this through interactive art activities and public art projects. When she is not painting, she is over-indulging her large eccentric orange tabby who part-times as her critic and her muse. Her murals, installations and animations can be seen around the GTA.
Summer Afternoons in Gage Park
I wanted to recreate the feeling of spending a beautiful spring/summer afternoon in Gage Park. A warm breeze, the lazy day vibe, the peaceful serenity of being surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers that make Gage Park such a zen place to escape to. I used Procreate Dreams to create a childhood anime-style landscape to evoke the feeling of simpler times and nostalgia. I used several layers to get a more 3D effect as the butterfly flies into the background.
