Women of Color Series 12" x 8" - Mixed Media - Set of 3

Namaste Woman is a 12" x 8" mixed media painting from the Women of Color Series by Richmond-based artist Syeda Mleeha Shah. This graceful figure sits in a meditative pose, hands folded in reverence, eyes closed to the outer world—inviting stillness, strength, and sacred selfhood.

The faceless woman is adorned with textured henna-style patterns, celebrating cultural identity and feminine resilience. Painted in calming taupe and silver tones, the canvas has a grounded, earthy feel that radiates quiet power. Layered detailing gives the figure dimension, while her posture speaks to mindfulness and spiritual connection.

This piece is a celebration of women who find balance in duality—soft and strong, grounded yet transcendent. Whether placed in a yoga space, hallway, or bedroom, it offers a moment of calm reflection and cultural homage.
