Ujala Khan (born 1990) is an abstract artist currently based in Islamabad, Pakistan. An architect by education, she began her artistic journey as an exercise in expressive meditation.

With her bold style, Ujala creates works that invite the viewer to engage with the layers of meaning within. Her artistic practice is a celebration of the freedom of the abstract expressionist movement, galvanised by the recklessness of automatism. With the use of symbols inspired by a plethora of sources, composed among an interplay of colour and texture, Ujala redefines the boundaries of traditional abstraction, creating a new language that speaks to a contemporary human experience. Her compositions imbued with an energy of their own, explore the interconnectivity of all things and the ever-changing nature of existence. In her earliest body of work, as shown at Covert Conversations, Islamabad in 2016; Catharsis, Islamabad in 2017; and Chiaroscuro, Dubai in 2017, Ujala explored the self as a juxtaposition to a shared anthropological heritage. In subsequent exhibitions such as Focus on Pakistan, London in 2018; Spatial Fluidity, Islamabad in 2018; Vagaries of a Non-Objective Mind, Karachi in 2018; Pakistan @ 100, Islamabad in 2019; and Kashmir Through The Eyes Of An Artist, Lahore in 2019, her work shifted towards an intense examination of culture and history while delving deeper into consciousness and individualism. According to the artist, it challenges the dichotomy of “ ‘me’ versus ‘us’ ”.  Ujala’s latest work is an examination of this narrative and its relationship with contemporary society at various levels of self.

A selection of Ujala’s artworks are housed within the permanent collection of the Ambiance Boutique Art Hotels.
