About the Item

Available at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art. 'Serenity In Hues' 2022 by Roohi Saleem. Oil and oil sticks on canvas, 30 x 30 in. This pastel painting is constructed as a dense compostition of abstract forms, featuring various shades of pink, green, maroon, beige, blue, white, and black. Saleem’s abstracted narratives on canvas are animated by her innate sensitivity and concern for human conditions and emotions. Her work is inspired by a constant search for tranquility, as she views painting as a form of 'emotional survival'. Throughout her career, Saleem has experimented with both acryilc and oil paints, ultimately landing on oil sticks. Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan- as well as living in Dubai, Muscat, and Los Angeles- has greatly impacted her work, most noticably through her use of calming colors. Roohi Saleem has exhibited her artwork internationally in one-person and group exhibitions throughout the Middle East and the United States in such venues as the Omani Society for Fine Arts, the Muscat Art Society, Mamaroneck Artists Guild, William Ris Gallery and the SUNY Purchase College NY. Her individual works of art as well as commissioned murals are in many private and public collections including some US Hedge Funds, the Former US Ambassador to Yemen, the Secretary General of the Tender Board of Oman, and the President of Oman National Bank. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from SUNY Purchase College, NY, Magna Cum Laude. She won an Honorable Mention Award from Manhattan Arts International in its “New Beginnings” exhibition, 2015 and was featured in their ‘Artist Showcase gallery”. She was awarded ‘Second Place’ in the 2019 Annual Small Works Juried Show at the Mamaroneck Artist Guild.
