In his Ruminate collection, Fiaz explores the richness and complexity of human emotion, capturing themes such as hope, suffering, isolation, and empathy. Working in graphite, his medium of choice, Fiaz creates striking hyper-realistic works that balance honest photorealism with an element of mystery.

Guided by a desire to portray deep emotional states, Fiaz uses dramatic lighting, precise detail, and carefully composed angles to evoke a powerful visual presence. The anonymity of his models invites viewers to project their own experiences onto the work, fostering moments of reflection on both personal and shared human experiences.

Through Ruminate, Fiaz offers more than a glimpse into his creative vision — he creates a space where viewers can connect, resonate, and find their own meaning within the art.

Ruminate contains three pieces of artwork: Cripple, Gaze and Sweet Sacrifice.
