The clean, precise lines of these wall relief sculptures speak to the artist's background as an architect. Sureen calls her artistic work her ‘Zen’ space, giving her a sense of calm. Her minimalistic work exudes the same sensation, helping to soothe the overactive modern mind.

By using her architectural skills, she composes her designs on a computer, first as line drawings and then building a three dimensional CAD model. She refines the design until she feels it is complete and creates cut patterns of all the different layers and components. Afterwards, she laser-cut it from wood, assemble the design (almost like a puzzle) and glue the layers together. It is finished with layers of textured paint and matt acrylic paint coating. The textures are unique and it gives each artwork a soul of its own. The clean and precise lines of the designs combined with the rough and imperfect tactile textures of the finish give her works a simplistic ‘wabi-sabi’ aesthetic.

Sureen is drawn to the circle shapes and the inherent energy they embody. In her work circles are symbols representing totality, wholeness, flowing energy and balance. Her work embodies a zen, meditative and minimalistic philosophy.
