The Brand
Keelash is not just another place to buy art and home décor. It is a place that alleviates the monotony and repetitiveness around us. Art is a way to surround ourselves with beautiful things that are one of a kind and an extension of us; not the mass produced, thoughtless things we are constantly being conditioned to own. Where has the uniqueness gone?
Most of our products are limited edition so we only make handful of them using original art work.
Keelash is quality, uniqueness and originality. That’s not what we stand for, that’s what we are. Engrained and weaved in our ethos, we live and breathe it.
When we say ‘limited edition’, we mean limited edition in its truest sense – it is one off and that design will not come back in another format or variation.
If we say ‘sustainably sourced’, it means we have done thorough checks and are confident to make that claim.
We strive to get everything made in the UK. Where it is made elsewhere, we promise to clearly let you know.
The Artist
I am Shagufta Shakeel, a self-taught artist, nurturing my natural talent for years and bringing my art and creativity to life through Keelash.
I live in Windsor, UK with my daughter and husband. With Windsor Great Park at my doorstep, I have a reservoir of inspiration however I find I get inspired by the tiniest of things; a unique shape, elusive colour, something someone said or I read, or my travels far and wide; absorbing the charisma of each place.
I strongly believe that exquisite art should be within reach of all, making it both affordable and attainable. Guided by the vibrant beauty of the natural world that envelops us, my art revolves around plants, flora and fauna or what is more commonly known as – Botanical Art. It renders homage to the graceful forms and vitality they represent, especially in an age where our living world is so often overlooked. My style is a cross between realism and abstract which empowers me to weave heavy imagination in my drawings, making it truly unique.
I hope my artwork will not only grace your home and life with its aesthetic, but also evoke the same sense of enrichment and delight that it brings to me. To my mind, each stroke of a brush or pen should whisper stories of life, bringing to you more than just flowers and leaves. My art strives to encompass the tales of our earth and its gifts to us humans, forever in awe of what Mother Nature created and continues to bless us with.
My chosen mediums primarily encompass ink and water colour, and I have a penchant for employing calligraphy pens, however I dabble with lot of mediums and love to experiment; capturing sometimes a stunning look and other times it could be classed an aberrance. 😊
