Badruduja Owaisi has been producing fine art full-time for about six years. His practice is digitally based and he creates projects inspired by his dual heritage. His oeuvre is deeply personal and draws ideas from nature to everyday objects to an increasingly troubled world.
Presently, he is working on a major new series which began on the MFA and has continued beyond the course. This will be exhibited at the art school in September 2024.
