"Held In Place" by Maham Ajmal

Maham Ajmal is a Lahore-based visual artist who completed her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the National College of Arts, Lahore. Her practice focuses on still life, everyday objects, and the visual presence of ordinary surroundings.

Her work moves between representational and non-representational forms, allowing paint, colour, surface, and gesture to guide meaning. Maham’s process is spontaneous and materially driven, often embracing rawness, texture, and the physical body of paint as part of the image.

Through her series Everyday, Again, she reflects on overlooked objects and repeated routines, transforming the mundane into spaces of quiet attention and painterly discovery.

For collectors, Maham Ajmal’s work offers freshness, material sensitivity, and a refined contemporary approach to still life.
