Fatima was born in Aghjalar, Kurdistan (Iraq), where the memory of mountains and patterns formed the basis for her imagination. After studying business administration in Baghdad, she fled to the Netherlands in 1997. Drawing on a deep connection to her birthplace, she explores themes such as connection, environment, transformation, and cultural exchange. Her work explores the interplay between historical, Islamic and Kurdish visual traditions and how these relate to and can be interwoven with the openness of Western abstraction. This interweaving creates a space in which cultural differences merge and where the shared lines between the Middle East and Europe do not exist separately, but have been intertwined in their deep histories for centuries.
