Suprovat Sydney Report: Meet Juairiya Bint Saifuddin, a remarkable 12-year-old artist from Dhaka. A student in class five at ACADEMIA School, Lalmatia campus, Juairiya hails from Barisal and embarked on her artistic journey at just six years old. Remarkably, she has never attended formal art school, choosing instead to teach herself through passion and dedication.

Juairiya has already made a name for herself with two solo art exhibitions at the Patuakhali Omor Ekushey Boimela in 2023 and 2024. Her work has also been featured in online newspapers across the USA, UK, Canada, and Bangladesh, celebrating occasions such as International Mother Language Day, International Labor Day, and Pohela Boishakh.

In March 2024, Juairiya achieved a significant milestone by winning the championship at an international child art competition, exhibition, and workshop held in Gauhati, Assam, India, where participants from ten countries showcased their talents.

Juairiya’s parents, ABM Saifuddin, a private sector professional, and Nafisa Israt, a bank employee, are immensely happy of her accomplishments. Her story is a testament to her incredible talent and the limitless potential of self-taught artists.
