In Shazia’s 2025 collection, the artist returns with two brand new artworks. In ‘Maude and Mable’, a gently haunting portrait, Shazia’s ability to capture the people she has known through her life shines through. Inspired by a memory on her first day of school, the artwork portrays a pair of twins on a winter day. The artist immortalised the sisters to the smallest details including the blue gloves, as the artist explains “Just before the snow fell and turned everything opaque, I managed to snatch a memory of them sharing a pair of elbow length blue gloves.”.
In ‘Ida’ Shazia’s ability to draw on her imagination and past memories is brought to light. Inspired by a reoccurring dream the artist had as a child, the artwork portrays a female figure surrounded by golden Koi. In the dream, the bedspread would consume the artist and drag her into the dark abyss before fragmenting into golden Koi and swimming away, leaving her alone in the darkness. Capturing the duality of this experience – the weight of being consumed by a bad dream and the hope that comes from the smallest sources of light – this artwork embodies the delicate dance between the unknown and known and comfort and fear.
The artworks in this set are hand-signed giclée on canvas board limited editions and include:
'Ida' (78x 100.3cm)
'Mabel & Maude' (90.4x 100.3cm)

THE FINER DETAILS
Hand-signed by the artist
The artworks in this set are hand-signed by Shazia.
Giclée on Canvas Board
Given Castle Fine Art's expertise as UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to the highest standards specially regarding printing. Derived from the French term gicler’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition to an original artwork. It is believed that a giclée will significantly outlast a lithographic print, keeping its vivid colour for up to 200 years.
Egg Tempera
A longstanding technique featured in Shazia’s process is the use of egg tempera. Said to date back to ancient Egypt, this is a form of paint that is created by mixing egg yolk with powdered pigments and a little water. Tempera is more transparent, which creates a glowing quality and allows light to penetrate through it. This technique complements the softer features of Shazia’s work.

The artist
Shazia
Shazia began her career in a greetings card company, then went freelance and started a family. She is now a full-time artist, famed for her perceptive paintings of children and young people. The bright and cheerful colours she uses in them are inspired by her travels in South America, where she took a trip after university with her now-husband Ian. 'We'd gone to Mexico and I was at Frida Kahlo's house where everything is really bright; there's nothing that's not colourful. I think I try to bring that into my work, with the children with red hair and bright, stripy t-shirts and things like that.'
