Mawjood

Under the pseudonym Mawjood, the artist draws inspiration from their Pakistani heritage, their journey as an outsider in the UK, and the unique influences of life while living in Hastings. They channel their emotions, thoughts, and observations into thought-provoking visuals.

Mawjood believes that art is not just a visual experience but a profound conversation with the soul.

Drawing inspiration from street art, graffiti, and contemporary aesthetics, the style blends abstract expressions with elements of pop art and symbolism. Mawjood incorporates Urdu calligraphy and lettering into the artwork, infusing cultural symbolism with a contemporary twist.

Humor and sarcasm are integral components of the artistic expression. Mawjood employs these tools to engage viewers, challenging them to question societal norms, power structures, and the ways in which we navigate our own identities.
