"Tabinda's expressionistic paintings are a visual treat. Her work is a powerful representation of the deepest, darkest, haunting, tragic yet intensely beautiful moments of life."
Dr. Alka Pande, Art Historian, Independent Curator and Author, India.
"Tabinda's large oil and acrylics center around the vibrant use of color. The subject matter is of a mature nature. Love, hate, jealousy, dreams…all these emotions are captured by her on the canvas."
Mila Andre, Daily News, New York.
"Tabinda is gifted with a quality of free intuitive expression in the handling of her figures, cityscapes and nature, in Chagall-like freedom, mixed with a touch of surrealism."
Ali Imam, Artist, Curator, Pakistan.
"Tabinda's spontaneous style, pulsating colors and heavy pigmentation, lead to emotive canvasses, where texture makes turmoil almost tangible."
Juliet Highet, Art Curator, London.
"A special, conscious, thinking painter, Tabinda coins a vocabulary of her own expression which is surrealistically influenced and expressionistic in style. She is talented and provocative."
Hameed Zaman, The News International, Pakistan.
"Tabinda is in the artistic mould of Chughtai's literary flow. She follows the same mind-field of exposing the truth."
Iffat Naz, Khaleej Times, Dubai.
"In Tabinda, we see an artist who brings a spirit that is at the same time both ingenious and subtle. She succeeds in transcribing our universe in multiple shades dominated by a 'fantasy' vocabulary which is characterized by a wit and a spirit that will carry her a long way in her quest for answers."
La Revue Du Liban.
"Tabinda's work is bold, vibrant and imaginative, as she expresses stark emotions, hallucinations and dreams in brilliant and intense colors. She has exhibited her work internationally and won acclaim."
Khushwant Singh, Author, India.
"Tabinda has a defiant spirit, one aspiring to a man's equal world. Symbolism and the language of color play important roles in her .
work."
Marjorie Husain, Art Curator, Author, Pakistan
"In a vivacious blend of blunt expressionism and heightened symbolism, Tabinda paints a world she feels rather than the world she inhabits."
Lara Khatchikian, Art Curator, Lebanon.
"Brilliant, evocative, showing bygone ages but which escape the harshness of the real world, Tabinda is a very different kind of artist."
Zurain Imam, Curator, Pakistan
....
"Glimpses of Sadequain and Jamil Naqsh flavor Tabinda's work, yet her style is distinctly and vibrantly her own. Her work is poignant and brilliantly plumed."
Babsi Sidhwa, Author, USA.
