Neeq Serene
Photographer
Neeq has always been intrigued by the ever-changing and obscure philosophy of existence, which has been her inspiration as a songwriter and lyricist. Through the medium of photography, this curiosity extended to the physical form; the unique features and idiosyncrasies that make human beings living, breathing artworks in themselves.
Neeq explores the plethora of abstract emotions that are undeniable to the human experience, from the perspective of endurists, escapists and anarchists in the modern world. She strives to unveil masks beneath masks to reveal a deeply connected species, united by a sense of universal consciousness.
Currently, Neeq is preparing to embark on various art and documentary photography projects, around themes of subculture, identity and the disparity of socio-economic division.
Recent awards and features include: Portrait exhibition at Blank Wall Gallery, Athens (2020), The Alpine Fellowship 2019, ‘Runner Up’, London Loop 2018, ‘Best in Photography’, Monochrome Awards 2018, ‘Honorable Mention’, Zealous, Emerge 2018, ‘Shortlist’ and a portrait feature as part of the Superflex Community exhibition at London’s Tate Modern, (2017).
