About

Petra Bishai’s work is defined by a linear style and pared down forms. The work is inspired by urban life reflecting her fascination with living in a large city. Her collections explore the paradox of belonging versus alienation and how we adapt and interact with our surroundings.

Petra considers London life and the transitions that occur in her cultural environment. Her observations are translated into work that reflects her ongoing theme of cultural identity; the value of difference, of integration and of society.
