Sukaina is a London-based writer and artist. She is a self-taught illustrator and loom weaver, two recreations which she cultivated in her childhood. Her work is an extension of her poetry and writing, often depicting the performing arts: stage scapes, soliloquy, concert, poetry readings and glamour. Sukaina is also interested in depicting the exotic, the muse, esotericism, myth, mysticism, the baroque and ancient civilisation across the Orient and Arabia. She has an academic background in Anthropology and, in her writing, has been longlisted for the Azhar Writing Prize and the Bloomsbury Mentorship Prize.
