Sri Lanka's Faizal Faizal has been creating art since the age of 5, and she's just published her first book.
It's called, appropriately, South Asia, and it focuses on the region's arts, the New York Times reports.
Faizal, who was born in Pakistan, moved to Sri Lanka in the mid-1980s, and since then she's made a name for herself in the country's thriving contemporary art scene.
She's also made a name for herself in India, where she graduated from Baroda State University in 1949 with a master's in fine arts, a degree she says she was given "to express herself."
Now she's released her first book under the title Reliable Copy.
It's "a kind of manifesto," as the Times puts it, "about South Asia's artistic past, present, and future."
It includes Faizal's own works and those of other South Asian artists, as well as interviews with some of the region's most prominent artists.
It was inspired by a trip she made to Bangalore in March, where she met with Sara Subramanian, one of the founders of Reliable Copy.
"South Asia is rarely recognized as a hotbed of groundbreaking modern and contemporary
