My Art

My journey as an artist has been a healing odyssey, transforming the pain of my past into creative expression. Mastering embroidery in a sweatshop, I embroidered logos on shirts for export, a stark reminder of my days as a child laborer. But through Local Women's Handicrafts, I began to create my own designs, weaving the rich tapestry of Kathmandu's cultural motifs – Hindu, Buddhist, Tantra, Islamic. Sketching by hand, I delved into my subconscious, unearthing a wellspring of creativity. Now, I am channeling all my skills into a statue honoring the victims of modern slavery, a fusion of social activism and fine art that celebrates women's leadership and cultural artisan preservation in Kathmandu.

SEVEN KEYS MONUMENT - 2022

Nasreen Sheikh is designing the Seven Keys Monument to honor the at least 50 million people affected by modern slavery, including survivors and victims. This monument will incorporate TransparaTrade technology principles in its design and production, reflecting Nasreen's commitment to ethical and transparent practices.

STATUE CONCEPT "AYA"- 2024

The Seven Keys Monument project, designed by Nasreen Sheikh, serves multiple significant purposes. It aims to preserve the cultural artisan techniques of Nepal and economically empower women through its creation. This social and creative fine art piece will showcase some of the finest artisan techniques from Nepal, reflecting the region's rich heritage and Nasreen's dedication to promoting sustainable development and gender equity through art.

N A S U   G A L L E R Y

One day, I dream of opening a fine art gallery that celebrates the native artisan skills of diverse cultures and the artists who have found healing through their art. This concept is still developing, a space where the stories of survivors, including those who have endured modern slavery, can be told through their creative expressions. If you are an artisan preserving cultural heritage or a survivor who has healed through art, I invite you to join us on this journey. Please send an email through the link below, including a sample of your work and a bio, to be part of our waiting list as this project unfolds.
