I am Jaleela Niaz.. For me art is an 'ultimate means of expression'.

I was always an artsy kid in class. Despite my passion for painting, realistically my family did not think art as a viable career. Born and raised in an Indian family, I was deeply drawn into the academic system which I passed out in flying colours adding first rank as a "feather" to my excellence.

Even in early years of life, painting was my medium of expression. It was during my college life that I realised painting gave me more freedom to converse than in any other language. Weighing my artistic talents, my friends inspired me and that is when I decided to do my first solo exhibition in 2002.The reviews I got was big boost to my confidence and I continued my journey in art there after. As life plays it's part, now married and settled in Singapore with my two kids, took me to a different level. Yet there was a nagging feeling which I could not ignore. ART IS MY PASSION and my husband supported me to the core. He never stopped me from chasing my dreams.
My creativity started flowing out and so far I conducted many online exhibitions and is now working as a freelance art teacher. I believe that creativity is expressing ourselves and inspiring others. My style is mostly abstract and I also do landscapes. Thank you for your presence and I hope to soothe and inspire you with my work.
