Between Color & Memory with Iqra Adam

In this episode of the Art Stories Podcast, hosted by Sky Lilah (@skylilah), we sit down with Iqra Adam, a Calgary-based mixed-media artist whose work explores the balance between joy, memory, and emotion.
Through a combination of bold, vibrant paintings and deeply reflective monotone pieces, Iqra captures both the beauty of everyday moments and the quiet intensity of memory. Her intuitive process, guided by feeling and experimentation, allows each piece to evolve organically — embracing texture, imperfection, and authenticity.
Rooted in her philosophy of being “imperfect, yet undeniably perfect in its uniqueness,” Iqra’s work invites viewers into a space where color brings joy and monotone evokes nostalgia, creating a powerful dialogue between different sides of life.
In this conversation, we explore creative intuition, emotional storytelling, and how art can transform even the smallest memories into something meaningful.
