Aisha Alikhan and Nazerke Abdilmanova

Aisha Alikhan creates atmospheric works that move between Gothic portraiture, uncanny fantasy, and modern legend. Through digital illustration, oil painting, and photography, she depicts veiled faces, ominous figures, fantastical interiors, and charged symbolic objects with dramatic lighting, strong contrasts, and tactile layered marks. Her compositions feel like scenes suspended between stage and dream, inviting viewers into stories shaped by mystery, psychological tension, and quiet wonder.
