Andaleeb's combos of paint and pixel
The subjects are expression of the artist's emotions and everyday experiences. " The pixels of the computer want to attack the normal flow of our lives. The photographs of the oils have been scanned and imposed circles and lines on them. Thus the opaque and rigid tendency of the pixel has been combined with the oil form and then scanned. Thus I've transformed my emotions into the media, and carried out an experimentation," Andaleeb explained. In the digital strokes there is more flexibility, Adaleeb believes. The sweeps and strokes can be more ambitious, she feels.
Considering her conventional oil creations, in Red, Andaleeb had used variations of red, maintaining the same surface. Splashes of black, yellow and orange were also found on the canvas. Another canvas also presented solid images with the form of the crescent moon dominating the composition. On that canvas we found muted hues like brown and blue. In all her creations she has used squares, half circles, circle and such known geometrical images. An integral part of the beauty of Andaleeb's creations had been simplicity, and this time she wanted to make her work even less complicated.

In one of her canvases we see a couple, with the female face seen from the side and the male face approached from the front. The artist had moved on to gender issues in Staring women. There isn't much to learn from the eyes of our women, Andaleeb felt, which all bear a shroud of hypocrisy. "Society does not normally appreciate intelligence in our women. If women have intelligence they tend to hide it and give the appearance of being dressed up dolls," is Andaleeb's conclusion.
Andaleeb has taken part in a dozen artists' camps. She has had seven solo exhibitions and has participated in 30 group shows.
