Shumaiya Khan (b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores instinctual, bodily forms and the relationship between physical and metaphysical realms through layered, tactile works often presented as immersive environments.

Informed by myth, mysticism, and animism, her work reflects on feminine identity and contemporary contexts, prioritising emotional resonance over representation. She holds a BA from Goldsmiths and an MFA from City & Guilds of London Art School.
