But while she may have physically lost the battle she won so many hearts in her short but immensely inspirational life. Her soul lives on in the form of incredible strength, courage and positivity she left behind in the world. Rest In Peace.

Weekend Scout s
Maryam Arslan Artist
What does the word Art mean to you? Art for me is a space where I am allowed to flee the realms of reality and illuminate the world.
What kind of technique and mediums do you mostly work with?
I am addicted to oil painting. Oil paints are the most delectable, pigmented and creamy medium out there. I primarily use the technique Alla Prima - a method of painting in which the entire canvas is covered and finished in one session.
February 03, 2019 | 52
How did your interest in the field develop? Share a little bit about your background.
My fascination with painting dates back to me observing my mom painting her face with brightly coloured pigments. Before I learned to think for myself I was set on the path to earn an engineering degree for a prosperous future. One day I thought to myself, if we could all do things differently, what would I do? I immediately knew the answer. I requested my parents
weekend | Fashion
to let me take Art in my last year of A levels. Oddly enough, they did not resist. Cut to 2019, I have a BFA from Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, and an MA from Beaconhouse National University. I am now a practicing artist with six shows lined up this year.
What is your work influenced by?
I recall painting butter on toast and literally applying paint like I was applying butter on a real toast. I realized that the everyday activities I once viewed as boring and monotonous became the prime influence to create my work. These rituals sustain my purpose to paint. If your pieces were a person how
would you describe them?
They would probably the kind of person chanting all day long, “mirror, mirror on the wall who is the most delectable of them all?�
As peculiar as it may sound, I fantasize about having my paintings put up as pastel hues in the backdrop of a Wes Anderson movie. The fictional worlds created in films by Wes Anderson have such a precise colouration and symmetry. They look yum!
Name a few artists who inspire you.
Top five would be Van Gogh, Wayne Thiebaud, Wes

Is there anyone or any place in particular you would like to create a piece for?
weekend | Fashion
Anderson, Banksy and Quddus Mirza. Their eye for artmaking and fantastic attention to detail creates the appropriate space and tone for younger artists to be more gutsy and experimental with their works.
What themes do you generally tend to explore through your work?
Currently I’m using conventional materials like oil paint, acrylics and enamels for my pop culture-
inspired food portraits. The food items painted are mostly known as comfort foods. These kinds of sugar-laden, fatty foods cause the brain to release certain neurotransmitters, called dopamine and oxytocin, which induce the feeling of relaxation, pleasure and enjoyment in an individual.
February 03, 2019 | 54
In what way do you think your art impacts you or society at large?
My work is loved for its joyful celebration of paint, food and colour. My pieces are a celebratory space for the viewer to lose themselves in; allowing an immersive visual experience of two engrossing subjects – eating and painting!
What is your ultimate vision as an artist? Originally I aspired to paint. Now I want to inspire others to paint

The Beauty Edit
Breakouts may seem inevitable during this time of year, with constant parties, heavy makeup & winter indulgence taking a toll on our visage. But this emulsion is great to keep acne or random spots at bay. And it’s lightweight & easily absorbed finish makes it perfect for going on under sunscreen & makeup.
AvÉne hits the scene!

Every year, wedding season & all the makeup it involves takes a toll on our skin! So we decided t o test out some products from Avene, a cult French skincare company which is now readily available in Pakistan!

Triacneal expert
This is arguably one of the best creams we have tried to treat dark spots, uneven tone & pigmentation. It tackles these issues while simultaneously treating the problem (acne) by helping with sebum control. So if you’re prone to breakouts definitely check this product out.

Micellar lotion
Micellar lotion is often used to remove makeup but it can leave residue on the skin. Our tester used this as a secondary cleanse instead on already showered skin as part of their nighttime routine and found that it worked really well.

Soapless cleansing gel
This two in one gel can be used for your face or body. It smells super clean & fresh and promises to fight any blemishes that may be surfacing during this busy season. A shower using this definitely had us feeling rejuvenated.

Cleansing mousse
It’s essential to start any skin regimen with a great cleanser! So put down the make up wipes, and really make sure to deeply clean your skin morning & evening with a heavy duty cleanser. Whether you opt for a foaming cleanser such as this one, or an oil or cream based cleansing balm is down to skin type & personal preference. But this first step is the mandatory for good skin!

Thermal spring water spray
Opinions are often divided on face sprays that don’t contain any active ingredients (with many questioning whether they have any benefits). However we can’t deny that a quick spritz makes us feel instantly refreshed. Avene additionally claims that this thermal spring water has anti irritant & soothing benefits. While we liked this face spray we prefer Sero Zinc by La Roche Posay (another cult French brand) because the added zinc makes our skin instantly feel calmer.

PKR 2250
Dermatologists frequently stress the importance of sunscreen to minimize wrinkles, pigmentation & skin issues. But it can be tricky to find one that is effective without being cloying or heavy. Avene’s sunscreen is lightweight & goes on matte, so that your makeup never gets that greasy look.
Micellar toner
Many skin care experts say that toner is a necessary step in rebalancing the surface PH of your face post cleansing. So keeping that in mind we always factor one into our routine (especially before bed). Just stay away from formulations that are laden with alcohol which can dry out and damage your skin!
