Trained as a graphic designer from National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, Hamama Tul Bushra earned her Master’s degree in Art History from the University of Missouri, Kansas City in the United States. Her thesis explored two folios (pages) from a Mughal album, Gulshan Muraqqa, at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, where she assisted the curator in research and write-ups for featured art and objects in exhibitions. In 2013 - 2014 she worked on Echoes: Islamic Art and Contemporary Artists and 2014 Roads of Arabia: Archaeology and History of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia exhibitions. While pursuing her doctorate, Bushra’s energies shifted during the initial Covid era/isolation to painting, a passion she returned to. Bushra practices a unique style of painting, informed by her training as a graphic designer separating her paintings from mainstream work. She picks Woman as her subject matter, defined by stylized forms that captures her strength and complexity. Bushra focuses on defiant, confident, and provocative women capturing the strength and complexity of women through bold, vibrant colors. Her work challenges traditional representations of women, showing them as powerful and unapologetic. The ownership of identity and its proclamation is significant in her work. The use of bright colors serve as a visual declaration of freedom and individuality, rejecting societal expectations and norms. Each piece is a celebration of women’s autonomy and resilience. Through her art, she invites viewers to question and rethink the cultural narratives surrounding women’s roles. In her work, boldness and self-assurance are not just accepted but glorified. Her work was featured in Epiphany 2021, a scholarly journal of poetry and in Homegrown 2020, an online platform. She has exhibited in group and solo shows, earning special acknowledgments and awards, both in Pakistan and the US 2020- 2025.
