Maryam Baniasadi is an Iranian visual artist based in Lahore, Pakistan. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in miniature painting from the national college of arts. She completed her Master’s degree in visual arts from the same institute in December 2017.

In her paintings, she uses elements from nature specially trees and manmade objects like red bricks to rationalize this relationship. She presents these objects and nature as two elements that continue to exist parallel to each other as both evolve with one complimenting the other; to her the manmade object is like human ambition which is always trying to tame nature and create boundaries. This is evident in her work as she depicts the importance of all that is green around us and the way it grows side by side with manmade objects.

The medium and techniques of miniature painting that she uses to paint these subjects represent her personal style and changes that take place in the process of creating them. Her emphasis remains to be on the process of change and on human desire, which has no limits.
