The Journey
From her earliest days, Seema Jabin Husain has been captivated by the world of art. A childhood filled with sketches, doodles, and experiments with colors saw her explore her innate passion for creativity under the guidance of her father, who was also a very successful and renowned artist of Lucknow in his time. At the age of just 13, Seema took her first steps toward sharing her love for art with others - she was selected by the Swatantra Bharat Lucknow newspaper publisher to sketch their weekly painting competition, and organized local art competitions through newspaper advertisements, connecting with fellow budding artists and sparking a sense of community and companionship. As she progressed through school, her exceptional talent was recognized with 12 state-level awards, a remarkable achievement that highlights her dedication to her craft from a young age.
Her passion and dedication led her to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Lucknow College of Arts, laying the foundation for her illustrious career as an artist. Throughout her academic journey, she honed her skills under the guidance of seasoned mentors, delving deep into the principles of art and exploring various techniques and mediums - equipping her with technical proficiency while nurturing her creative vision. She was so accomplished in her subject that she maintained the top position in her class throughout all five years of the degree.
Upon completing her education, Seema turned her passion into a profession, starting her career as an illustrator and collaborating with renowned organizations and authors to bring stories to life through her art. She has worked with prestigious organizations such as NCERT, NBT India, Room To Read, S. Chand, and many others. Her exceptional skills were showcased in the NCERT book "Yoga: A Healthy Way of Living," inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on India's first Yoga Day, 21st June 2015. She also collaborated with celebrated Hindi writer Prakash Manu on "Prakash Manu Ki Chuninda Bal Kahaniya," published by NBT. With a portfolio of more than 50 illustrated books, she established herself as a renowned name in educational and book illustration.
After her successful career in illustration, Seema stepped into teaching, sharing her passion and skills with budding artists. For four years, she taught illustration, still life, and life study to diploma and bachelor students, serving as a lecturer at Kasturba Institute of Technology (affiliated with Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University) and Meerabai Institute of Technology (affiliated with the Delhi Government). Her dedication to teaching helped students develop their artistic abilities and shaped the artistic journeys of many aspiring talents.
Seema works across a striking range of materials - painting in oils, acrylics, and watercolors, and sculpting 3D clay paintings and sculptures. She is skilled in making intricate designs with raisins and crafting with polymer clay, always eager to experiment with new techniques and materials to express her artistic vision. She has actively participated in numerous art exhibitions at the state, national, and international levels, with her captivating artworks garnering attention - and successful sales - from audiences around the world.
Seema's diverse skills have allowed her to bring joy to many individuals and businesses alike through commissioned artwork, creating custom pieces tailored to their specific preferences and needs - from residential homes to commercial establishments. Through Sejain Creations, she has built more than just an art studio; it's a dynamic space for art enthusiasts to explore, learn, and create, whether through teaching, commissioning artwork, participating in exhibitions, or collecting her work.
