Sofina Khanom

United Kingdom

Sofina Khanom is a self-taught, London-based painter of South Asian heritage, working as Sofina Arts. An accountant by profession, she has built her practice alongside her career, and architecture has become her signature: domes, doorways, arches, mihrabs and lanterns drawn from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman, Mughal and Moroccan heritage.

Working in acrylic, oil and mixed media, Sofina builds her surfaces up by hand in layers of texture, pattern and gold, so ornament stands out in real relief and catches the light.

Alongside architecture, she paints people and heritage: women at work, riders, warriors and treasured objects such as an old jar stitched with tatreez or a family paisley shawl, each carrying a story passed down the generations.

In 2026 she exhibited at the Arab Art Fair London, Brighton Open Art, Boomer Gallery and The Holy Art Gallery, and at the APCUK 3rd Palestinian Women's Conference in London. She welcomes commissions for homes in the UK, the Gulf and beyond.
