Ali is an artist/illustrator, currently living in Liverpool, UK. She draws and paints what visually inspires her. Ali’s current inspiration is drawn from home interiors and decor, and the bulk of her recent work has been focused on painting rooms in people’s homes. She is also working on a series of female portrait paintings, which combine fashion, pets and interiors. Ali likes to recreate an image that offers plenty of intricate details.
Alongside this solo show at The Royal Standard Ali is currently exhibiting a new series of works in Federal Cafe, Manchester, and recently at The Angel Coffee House, Lincoln. Her style is heavily inspired by the classical world, depicting subjects like gothic architecture and interiors. Renaissance and impressionist painters such as Renoir highly influence my current style.
She's found the wider community of female artists very supportive. The female artist pool is very diverse and vibrant, both locally and online. Being a neurotically female artist, Ali found it challenging to self-publicise at first. Artists are expected to put themselves out there and approach people confidently, which is something she found difficult. However, she’s now starting to find her place and feel more at home within the female art world. She’s grateful to have discovered many female artists on social media that have inspired her to find her own aesthetic and voice, and also develop her personal practice.
Ali has grown more honest and confident, which hopefully shines through her artwork.
