About the author

Neela Ahmed

Neela Ahmed is an autobiographical artist who expresses emotion through color. Born on February 4, 2005, in Vederganj Thana of Shariatpur District, Bangladesh, her artistic journey began not on canvas, but on the silent walls of her childhood home. From those quiet beginnings to the expansive world of painting, her path has been deeply personal, emotional, and shaped by resilience.
Currently, Neela is pursuing her second year of honors in Political Science at Shariatpur Government College. Alongside her academic life, she has embraced art as an essential part of her identity. Her work often features faceless portraits, abstract compositions, and the quiet solitude of inner reflection—paintings that do not merely show, but deeply evoke.
Neela's father, Milon Hawlader, and mother, Mitu Begum, have been her earliest viewers and supporters. Her husband, Owahid Neel, is a passionate art lover who continues to inspire and accompany her in her creative journey. Their bond is not only familial but artistic—where color, emotion, and imagination blend seamlessly.
Rongtuli Aar Aami is Neela's first full-length autobiographical art memoir, where she shares the story of discovering her inner artist, gaining social recognition, and dreaming of a future shaped by creativity. Each chapter concludes with one of her original paintings, visually echoing the emotional tone of her writing.
Neela Ahmed believes that art is not just meant to be seen—it is meant to be remembered. Her dream is to one day see her work displayed in international exhibitions, and to inspire other women artists to find courage in her story.
