about the artist
I’m Alina Mohammod — the artist behind bigweteyes.
I’m a self-taught, multidisciplinary Pakistani-American based in Hartford, Connecticut, working primarily in oil and digital media. My work lives in the in-between: feminine divinity and quiet rage, softness and control, memory and myth.
I’ve been painting since I was a child. My process now is driven by story and psyche. Each piece is a confrontation with the parts of myself I don’t always understand, shaped into something beautiful, strange, or still. I paint to see myself more clearly. I paint to feel peace.
As a diaspora artist, my work carries themes of migration, cultural duality, and emotional inheritance. I believe art should do more than hang quietly. It should speak. Sometimes softly. Sometimes not.
Thanks for being here.
every print gives back
Art should comfort, disturb, heal — and act. My practice is rooted in empathy and resistance. This isn’t charity. It’s alignment. When you buy from me, you’re choosing art that stands for something.
