The displayed artworks have been privately built up and were so complex, diverse, and somehow both entirely contemporary and yet faithfully traditional, that it boggles the mind.
In her work, Ayisha has highlighted the bitter experiences of her life in captivating colors, which seems to be very beautiful, but in each piece of art, there was a full-blown story. A large number of art enthusiasts also attended the inauguration ceremony and greatly appreciated her work.
Ayisha has shown her mesmerizing paintings Nationally and Internationally on numerous platforms. She has presented her works as part of an EU art-exchange program with Canada. Her work was also shown in the 'Vialful' exhibition.
