I am a passionate visual artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, committed to creating art that resonates with diverse audiences globally. As the Chairman of S.A. Channel Private Ltd. and Director of S.A. Paribahan Private Ltd., I lead some of Bangladesh’s prominent business enterprises while also making a significant impact in the global art community. My work explores a broad spectrum of themes, including identity, culture, and human expression, combining traditional techniques with modern influences to challenge perceptions and inspire change.
My artistic practice is deeply informed by my experiences as a global citizen, balancing the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh with contemporary expressions. I aim to create work that is a reflection of my personal journey and my interactions with the world around me. Through my art, I aim to challenge societal norms, engage with themes of empowerment, and promote social change. I draw inspiration from my roots, combining traditional motifs with modern abstraction to create pieces that speak to both personal and collective identities.
Born on September 12, 1970, in Lalkhan Bazar, Chittagong, Bangladesh, I was raised in a family that deeply valued education, culture, and social impact. My academic journey began in the humanities, and I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Arts (1996). I later expanded my qualifications with internationally recognized examinations through the University of Cambridge International Examinations in 2019 and 2020.
I have built my professional life by leading two major enterprises in Bangladesh:
These businesses have played a pivotal role in the development of Bangladesh’s media and transportation sectors. My leadership in these ventures reflects my commitment to innovation, customer service, and corporate responsibility.

My journey as an artist is a constant exploration of identity, culture, and humanity. Growing up in Bangladesh, I was surrounded by a rich history of traditional art that influenced my early work. Over the years, my exposure to global art movements and international experiences has shaped my unique style, which blends local traditions with contemporary forms.
I have exhibited my work across the world, with notable exhibitions in Singapore, Greece, Italy, Indonesia, the United States, and beyond. These experiences have enriched my creative practice and allowed me to connect with diverse artistic communities, deepening my understanding of art as a universal language that transcends borders.
In addition to my artistic and business pursuits, I am deeply committed to social welfare and philanthropy. I have been actively involved in initiatives that focus on women’s empowerment, education, and community development. Some of my key social contributions include:
Through these efforts, I continue to work towards uplifting marginalized communities and empowering individuals through education and skill-building.
I am married to Mr. Salah Uddin Ahmed, a successful businessman and the owner of S.A. Paribahan and S.A. Channel Private Ltd. Together, we have created a dynamic partnership, blending our entrepreneurial acumen with our shared vision for social impact. Our work continues to inspire others, both in business and the arts.
