A sense of beauty which comes with the word landscape can be seen in Zarah's painting. She makes sure that the emotions and thinking related to landscapes are intact while painting a landscape.
The beauty of her landscapes lies in the surreal impressions she conceives. Light and dark shades of various colours from vibrant red and deep blue to shinny whites diffuse to form a complex composition showing human emotions and experiences.
The paintings have an aura of mystery. The foggy landscapes sometimes show human figures and huts along with foliage, which it seems as the reflections of imaginative world.
The paintings titles 'Me', 'In awe', 'Toil', 'Sunset', 'Dream' reveals what the painter wants to convey in her particular painting. She see the world with new angle and has certainly different feelings about everything including landscapes. The paintings portray every aspect of life.

There are dreams and clouds and destiny and future and hard work to fulfil the dreams hence she touches the basic issues of life in her landscapes. [email protected]
