Coming Soon to the Art Rental: Anika Mariam Ahmed – All about love
About this activity.
From April 17 to May 31, Kunstpunt Groningen presents the solo exhibition All about love by artist Anika Mariam Ahmed. In her paintings, Ahmed captures the beauty of everyday life: the warm glow of the afternoon sun, colorful laundry on the line, and the play of light across different seasons. Her work reveals the charm in seemingly simple scenes and invites viewers to pause and appreciate the moment.
Since the birth of her son, Ahmed has gained a new perspective on the world. What truly matters has come into sharper focus, while the rest fades into the background. This transformation is reflected in her paintings, where warmth, care, and attention to detail take center stage. For her, painting is a language without words — a place where simplicity and zest for life come together in a tribute to the small yet meaningful moments of life.
All about love
All about love will be on view from April 17 to May 31 in the Cella exhibition space at Kunstpunt Groningen. Visitors can not only enjoy the art of Anika Mariam Ahmed, but also see her favorite works from the Art Rental Collection in Anika’s Choice. She selected pieces that touch her through their simplicity and focus on the everyday: “These works celebrate the visual play of composition, color, form, and light in our daily surroundings.”
