My name is Rabia shahzadi I am a visual artist lives and works in London. Text is the main object of my visuals because the text is considered the most personal language of any human being, through this unreadable text, I usually describe my personal biography and the truths which one cannot express in a loud voice or which are not acceptable for the society. My work is an amalgamation of text typography and historical figures of the traditional miniature painting of the sub-continent.
The combination of text, pop colours and historical figures is a visual appearance of my thoughts about the significance of the history of sub-continent miniature art in past and today, besides this, I want to leave the representation of colouration and compositions of the visuals open for viewers that one may symbolize its many perspectives.

I believe the secret to taking great photographs is opportunity.
The braver and more courageous you are, the greater the rewards will surely be. I am heavily inspired by my travels and adventures around the world but also discovering things a lot closer to home. I love the diversity that each photograph can bring and I embrace the excitement that a new challenge can present.

I’m a multidisciplinary artist driven by a deep need to express, heal, and tell stories that often go unheard. My journey began in architecture and design, but over time, I realised that my true voice lived in the space where art meets emotion—where personal and collective histories collide.

My work is rooted in identity, faith, and memory. I create to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and what we carry—whether joy, pain, tradition, or resilience. One of my most personal pieces, The Blood-Stained Child, was born from a place of sorrow and confrontation. It's a raw and unfiltered response to the violence I’ve witnessed in my community—an image of innocence caught in chaos. It hurt to make, but it had to be made. That piece helped me grieve, helped me pray, and reminded me why I create in the first place: to process pain, to provoke thought, and to call for peace.

Much of my work, including More Love, Less War, seeks to bridge divides—ethnic, religious, generational. I draw from my Nigerian heritage, using symbols, colors, and textures that hold weight and meaning, but I also reinterpret them through a modern lens. I want my art to feel both ancestral and alive—tied to the past but speaking clearly to today.

Whether I’m working with digital media, string, textiles, or paint, I approach every project with the same intention: to stir something real. I believe art has the power to build empathy, to challenge injustice, and to heal. For me, this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about presence, purpose, and pushing through silence with something that speaks.

Storybeyondlines was conceptualized by myself, aimed at bringing the traditional & spiritual art to the world. To promote art which not only brings joy to people, but also has soothing and transformative effects on ones’ energy, has been a key theme of Storybeyondlines.

A self-taught artist, I have had a deep inclination for art since childhood and have been creating artwork since more than a decade.
Over the years, I realized that I wanted to bring to the world the art that would make someone feel connected to his/her spiritual energy, and therefore my passion for the mandala art grew and I took to her calling to bring forward this artwork to a wider audience. With numerous workshops to my side, and many customized art-works created for my clients, I have been deeply rooted to expressing and bringing forward my art form across borders.

I am a multidisciplinary artivist whose ideas circulate around protest, apocalyptic possibilities, climate change and utopia. I often take an anarchic view to traditional spaces for art and prefer using public interventions and community collaborations to spark energy for change. I grew up in Brentford and I have a degree in Fine Art and Art History from Manchester School of Art and The University of Barcelona. I am currently based in London and I have always lived in cities; the grit and absurdity of which are often captured in my works. My practice sits on a line between humour and horror, humour being a useful tool with which to approach hyperobjects such as the climate crisis and neoliberal global capitalism. I regularly use recycled materials and objects collected from the streets to make work as an act of non-monetary exchange, community cleaning and through which I enjoy subverting the elitism which surrounds the art world.
