Instagram Artist Of The Week: Mariam Ibraaz
If you're on Instagram, you might have come across beautiful artwork by Mariam Ibraaz, who is a Lahore-based artist. She dabbles in a variety of mediums, including illustrations, photography and videography, and makes the most stunning paintings that evoke a sense of familiar whimsy: think winged horses, Mughal miniature motifs and 80s kitsch.
