Taslima Ahmed is a British-German painter living and working in Berlin. She exhibited at the the Rathaus-Galerie Reinickendorf in 2025, Haus am Lützowplatz in 2024 and the Westfälischer Kunstverein in 2023.
Ahmed paints both analogue and digitally. In recent years however she has concentrated on the question: how can you paint using purely technological means?
Her work includes painting purely digitally and developing a new unique way of printing layers to create painterly texture, impasto and thick brushstrokes by repurposing the regular use of an industrial printer. Her current series of paintings, called ‘Non-Analogue Paintings’ show detailed figurative motives, a progression from her previous exploration of gestural colour abstraction in her ‘Canvas Automata’ series and black and white minimalism in her group of works called ‘Reconstructor Paintings’.
