At the tender age of 23, Shah Ifra, affectionately known as ‘Kouri Mohneyuv’ among the locals, has established herself as a prominent figure in the world of Kashmiri art.

Hailing from the picturesque district of Srinagar, Shah Ifra’s artistic journey began in 2018 when she enrolled in the esteemed art college in her hometown. In 2022, Shah Ifra graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts Painting from the Department of Music and Fine Arts at the University of Kashmir. Since then, her creativity has been showcased in various exhibitions and art events, allowing her to make a name for herself as a talented and versatile artist.

One of the notable milestones in Shah Ifra’s career was her participation in the first-ever gallery exhibition at the Sher-Garhi complex in Srinagar, organized by the Gayoor Art Foundation.

Her exquisite works captivated art enthusiasts and further cemented her reputation as a rising star in the Kashmiri art scene.

Not content with local recognition alone, Shah Ifra’s talent has garnered attention on a national level.

She had the privilege of exhibiting her artwork under the Raza Foundation, representing one of the 100 young artists from across India.

This exposure not only provided a platform for her unique artistic expression but also allowed her to connect with fellow creatives from diverse backgrounds.

In 2020, Shah Ifra proudly participated in the renowned Kochi Biennial, a gathering of talented artists from around the world. This experience broadened her horizons, exposing her to new perspectives and artistic techniques.

She cherishes the memories and friendships forged during this prestigious event, considering it a pivotal moment in her artistic development.

Shah Ifra’s dedication to her craft extends beyond exhibitions and events. She actively engages in art camps and workshops, eager to expand her skills and learn from established artists.

One such event was the Art Camp Vitasta, jointly organized by the NZCC North Zone Cultural Center and the Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture, and Languages.

This collaboration allowed her to immerse herself in an enriching environment where she honed her skills in performance art, painting, illustrations, and installations.

As a figurative artist, Shah Ifra skillfully merges figures with text, imbuing her artwork with a profound storytelling quality.

Her creations serve as a medium to preserve and celebrate Kashmiri culture, weaving together the rich tapestry of traditions, history, and emotions that define the region.

Through her art, she aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and pride in her heritage, while also raising awareness of the unique challenges faced by Kashmiri society.

Shah Ifra’s passion and dedication to her art are evident in every stroke of her brush and every line she carefully crafts.

Her distinctive artistic style and commitment to cultural preservation have earned her admiration and respect among her peers and the wider artistic community.

In Shah Ifra’s own words, she said, “Art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect people on a deep, emotional level. Through my work, I strive to capture the essence of Kashmiri culture and share it with the world. Art allows us to communicate our stories, our struggles, and our hopes in a language that is universally understood.”

Shah Ifra continues to evolve as an artist, her future appears promising, brimming with potential and boundless creativity. With her unwavering determination and unwavering passion, she is poised to make a lasting impact on the art world, both locally and internationally.

In a world where art has the power to bridge divides, Shah Ifra stands as a testament to the transformative and unifying nature of artistic expression. (ANI)
