About
I’m Nishat Nailah, born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This bustling, emotional city has shaped the person I am still becoming. I have always been drawn to making things that mean something.
I practise architecture as my profession. Art is where I follow my curiosity, in ink and pastel and now in digital. Each in its own way stirs something in people about how they live.
I find inspiration in small things like a passing thought, a play of light or a feeling I can’t quite put into words. Making art is how I observe the world and collect moments.
Most of my work is self-portraiture, a way of capturing a moment, a mood or a version of myself. Some of it lives in black and white and some in color.
Questions
How do I buy a piece?
Tap “Message on WhatsApp” on any artwork or write to me directly. I’ll confirm that it’s available along with the delivery cost to your location. Once you’re happy you pay for the artwork in full and I arrange delivery.
How can I pay?
The artwork is paid for in full when you place your order. You can pay by bank transfer, bKash, cheque or cash deposit. I begin framing and arrange delivery once your payment is confirmed. Only the delivery charge is paid after the artwork arrives.
Is the artwork framed?
Yes. Every piece is sold framed and ready to hang. The frame is black aluminium or brushed brass and the exact details are listed on each artwork.
What is the difference between an original and a print?
An original is the one-of-a-kind work on paper. A print is an archival pigment print of a digital artwork or of an original that is no longer available. Every print is signed by me and any limited edition is noted on the artwork.
How long does delivery take and what does it cost?
Delivery takes at least 2 weeks inside Dhaka and 3 to 4 weeks outside Dhaka. Delivery is charged separately and I’ll confirm the cost for your location before your order ships. The delivery charge is paid after your artwork arrives.
Can I return a piece?
I don’t offer returns so please ask me any questions before you decide. I’m happy to help.
What if my piece arrives damaged?
Every piece is packed with care. If yours arrives damaged please message me within 48 hours with photos of the artwork and the packaging. I’ll make it right.
Do you ship outside Bangladesh?
Not at the moment. I currently deliver within Bangladesh only.
What are the process videos?
They are animations recreated from the finished digital artwork to show how it could come together. They are not screen recordings.
Do you take commissions?
At the moment I only sell finished pieces.
Still have a question? Message me and I’ll reply personally.
