A human body is a celebrated subject matter to study in art as it keeps evolving with time. Arif remarkably explores the textures, variation, tonality and topography of the flesh. By depicting bodies as it is; bulky, naked and hairy, the artist provokes and challenges the conceived notions of the feminine beauty. Her paintings compel the viewer to comprehend one's body by examining both grotesque and beautiful characteristics of the human form.
