The Natural Art of Hasura Akther Rumky From Dhaka to the World Stage Hasura Akther Rumky is a contemporary Bangladeshi artist with over ten years of international experience spanning Asia, Europe, and North America. She earned both her BFA and MFA from the Faculty of Fine Art at the University of Dhaka. Since August 2025, Hasura has been the resident artist at Gallery Lumina in Ohio, where she is developing new work that transforms memory into textured canvases. Her fourth solo exhibition, “Ode to Peace & Love,” was presented at the Gandhi Memorial Center in Washington DC, featuring cultural figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha alongside intimate portrayals of mothers and friends. The same collection was also shown at Gallery Eye for Art in Houston, where she is a consigned artist. Painting with Soil, Sand, and Silence Hasura creates textured surfaces using natural pigments including soil, sand, and charcoal, combined with pastel and acrylic. She views these materials as carriers of memory, with each grain holding silence and the weight of time. Her work explores human connection, intimacy with nature, and the universal desire for peace. “When I work with soil and sand, I feel I am painting with fragments of memory,” Rumky reflects.
