Residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Naznin wears dual hats as a neuroscientist and sculptor. Scientifically, her enthusiasm is ignited by unravelling the intricate relationship between perception, action and emotion. Her focus extends to understanding how individuals perceive and view the world, exploring how external influences shape emotions and cognition from infancy to adulthood.

Artistically, her passion converges on reflecting the nuances of the human condition through sculptures. The aim is to unveil the myriad ways in which human experiences are etched into faces and expressed through movement in space. Over the past decade, she has delved into both clay and stone, leveraging the unique properties of each medium to bring her artistic visions to life.

When working with clay, the creative journey begins with an abstract idea, gradually building from a formless state. Through intertwining and sculpting, emotions and perceptions are infused into the piece, culminating in the final form.

Stone, on the other hand, presents a different starting point – a raw, unformed block brimming with potential. She meticulously chisels and polishes, gradually unveiling the inherent beauty within the stone.

Her artistic endeavours have been showcased in various exhibitions in Victoria and Vancouver, including esteemed venues like the Maltwood Gallery, Roundhouse Community Center, Rogue Gallery, Leigh Square Community Arts Village, and Deer Lake Gallery. In 2022, she further enriched her skills by completing a workshop on Sculpting the Portrait from Life at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.

This multifaceted individual seamlessly intertwines the realms of science and art, utilizing her diverse skills to explore the intricate connections between perception, action and emotion, while also expressing the rich tapestry of human experiences through the medium of sculpture.
