Faizan Riedinger
(b.1988) is a German-Pakistani visual artist based in Karachi. His hyper-minimalist work draws inspiration from Arabic script, employing architect’s pens on canvas to create intricate, meditative geometric forms. In 2023, his work was acquired by the Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as part of Alif Lam Ra, the museum’s silver jubilee commemoration.
