I met so many people over the 5 days inside Elys Wimbledon & I wanted to come introduce myself to my new followers๐๐พ
As a pattern designer with a textile background, I thought this picture against the fun patterns inside DREAM FACTORY was just so apt for this post!
My name is Mahin Hussain & I run a small business creating bright artwork in London. My work is inspired by my Pakistani roots & childhood memories. I wish I could explain the madly vibrant Pakistani society but since I am not very good with words, I use my colour and patterns to do the talking.
At my last pop-up I was asked so many times why I do what I do. Migrating to the UK at the age of 38 was definitely hard. I left behind family, friends, my career & a very comfortable life. The desire to express my identity through my art has only grown here. As a creative, I found this medium to be the perfect way to form connections with all the new people I was meeting.
I have been very very lucky to have worked with some incredible people in the last 5 years. Commission for Victoria and Albert Museum, rooster scarves inside the Design Museum as part of their The Offbeat Sari Exhibit, collab with Arts Temps & a second year with the brilliant Wimbledon BookFest creating their programme cover illustration.
I absolutely love what I do. I am very ambitious and work very hard to achieve my goals. I have 2 cute babies & I want them to learn how much you can achieve with dedication/motivation/discipline.
