Mazahir Hussain Blends Mythology and Brown Bodies for His Art

The Robbers' Tent

Mazahir Hussain tells us about his story -- Editors

I started illustration around 2 and a half years ago on a whim, and never expected for it to turn into a viable career path.

With an educational background in creative writing, I merge my passions for mythology and fairytale with visual arts to create a romantic representation I often never found growing up.

My work centers around brown bodies, and the sensuality and tenderness I wanted to see as a kid. As well as disjointing the aggressive fetishisation of body hair into a place of sweetness.
