Process and studies

My art evolves out of

  • My daily morning journaling
  • My art diary which I use at my most overwhelmed emotional state, usually at night time. I also keep it with me when I go out and make observational sketches of places with strong memories.
  • Doing color studies and challenging myself to come up with unique and soothing color combinations
  • Digital drawings in my phone at random moments when there is no pen and paper nearby
  • Music and my playlist is embedded below

That moment you say 'I'm always there for others, That moment you say 'I'm always there for others, no one is there for me'

& then Allah gives you pain just to send help & prove you wrong. And remind you that you are deserving of care too.

There are small miracles in everyday life that we don't notice. I hope we can all notice them more. I hope we can let go of shame of asking for help, comfort & love.

I facilitated an in-person session with a 1:1 clie I facilitated an in-person session with a 1:1 client at the beach before I left Karachi. 

We did exercises to develop trust with senses; seeing, hearing, touching & practice stillness & exploration.

Such exercises can seem meaningless but they aren't.

Not all healing has to revolve around talking about your issues & doing hardcore work. Sometimes you have to prepare your client, develop trust with them, have fun, make jokes or teach them how to notice & reflect in life. Facilitate them, not just tell them to do things.

This is why healing through art, breathwork & meditation works deeper than talk therapy or talk coaching. The client talks when they are ready to & they have developed the capacity to sit with their pain & subsconscious needs & habits. They have autonomy & there is no rushing.

It's a gentle yet powerful process because it makes them constantly wonder about the autonomy & stillness they can practice in their real life too. Which, for some of us, is freedom from depression & people pleasing.

I was confused I wanted to be safe I settled I di I was confused
I wanted to be safe

I settled
I didn't want to fail

I became arrogant
I didn't want to be hurt

I numbed
To keep happiness away

I killed parts of me
To be a success

I hid my organs
I became a man

You know when they say, if you love someone let th You know when they say, if you love someone let them go. It's cliche but it's true.

True love isn't subjective to a relationship. It isn't an object to be bought. It is the opposite of neediness. True love is without attachment of things being good or bad. True love simply is. It's being happy for someone even if they aren't yours. It's a feeling complete on it's own.

It transcends time, space & titles, even the human body. It doesn't need material form to exist.

But if you cannot let go, you will never know.

You can let go and love at the same time. Thanks to the angel who made me see things differently, especially when it came to love. I'm forever grateful to you.

"Jabeen, why do you paint nude figures but also ta "Jabeen, why do you paint nude figures but also talk about God & spirituality at the same time? Those are opposite things"

I get this question alot so I need to share my answer publicly.

To cut it short ~ I'm trying to reclaim the human body as something not shameful but something to be loved & admired.

I work & connect with people internationally & so many of us have religious trauma & social conditioning that has made us believe body is something to be hidden, be ashamed of, it's impure or just having a body is bad or a sin. So they unconsciously have hate for their bodies & don't love themselves. Not just females but men also feel this way & I'm sure other genders feel it too.

If you see my paintings & your first reaction is that it's erotic or that I'm a sinner or you feel you want to block me or tell me to stop this nonsense, this could mean you have this conditioning too. And that's exactly why I do this.

Be honest. If God wanted us to hate our bodies, why did he even give them to us? Why are we not only souls?

Your body & emotions are the two things that make you human & the reason you're here on Earth. So what's with the shame?

I'm not saying I'm the chosen one or something. I am nothing. But some people are meant to take up these difficult tasks of breaking taboos. My own life experiences of hating my body have led me here.

It has not been easy. Overcoming the struggles is one thing. Putting it out there is a whole other level. It took alot of bravery. I had to sit with my own dark parts & figure out why the hell do I want to paint these figures. The more I ignored it the more it haunted me in very bizarre ways. I honestly thought something was wrong with me. But I worked through that. I come from a conservative family. I made my family understand & helped them become comfortable with it the best they could while also understanding their boundaries.

See, actions & intentions are two different things. For me intentions matter more than actions. The intentions behind my work is not to spread evil.

You're the pain, you're the numb You're the empty You're the pain, you're the numb
You're the empty bottle of rum,
I don't remember
And you're the hit, you're the run
You're the trigger on the gun
And I surrender

I'm never gonna break your heart
I'm never gonna break your heart
I'm never gonna stop it once I start
Never gonna break
My habits die hard
