Minara Begum is an artist based in Bedfordshire, England, known for her oil paintings that explore still life, portraits, and landscapes. Her artistic journey began with an innate talent, which she honed through studies in Art History, Fine Art, Photography, and Printmaking.

Her work draws profound inspiration from John Constable’s sweeping country landscapes and dramatic skies, as well as the Renaissance masters—Raphael, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo—and the Dutch Golden Age Baroque period.
