Menal Bano is a visual artist from Karachi, Pakistan, working across drawing, painting and expanded material. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture in 2020.

Menal’s practice explores how built and natural environments accumulate in the body as memory, rhythm and emotional weight. Her work traces the invisible pressures of space, translating transient atmospheres into tactile visual structures.

Menal has participated in international artist residencies including the Domus Artist Residency (Italy), and Tasweer Ghar (Lahore, Pakistan). She exhibits across Asia and Europe, making her Singapore debut at ION Art Gallery with BeOne Gallery in 2025, where she was awarded 3rd Prize for Best Artwork. Alongside her studio practice, she brings a research-led approach to independent illustration and collaborative projects.
