Tania Qurashi (b. 1993, New Jersey) is a Philadelphia-based artist whose work explores cultural and racial melancholy through symbolic objects, vessels, and figurative and floral motifs. Working primarily in painting and drawing, she engages with imagery tied to her Pakistani and Guatemalan heritage, using still life compositions to examine personal and collective histories. In her work, Qurashi uses flowers as figurative representations of these themes, negotiating between origin and displacement, while the spatial relationships between objects in her compositions evoke both distance and connection, reflecting the complexities of cultural identity and personal history.

Qurashi received an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Qurashi has exhibited her work in group exhibitions including the Asian Arts Initiative (Philadelphia, PA), Long Beach Island Foundation (Loveladies, NJ), Amos Eno Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Fjord (Philadelphia, PA), and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts Museum (Philadelphia, PA), and TROVE [flat file] by Deanna Evans Projects (New York, NY). She is a recipient of the Brodsky Center of PAFA James V. Nixon Jr. Award and her work has been published in New American Paintings.
