Meet the artist: Sonal Gupta

Bhopal-based Sonal Gupta uses her artworks to showcase the bond between nature and life. She analysis the beauty of nature and society through abstractions and figures that evoke different feelings of one's life.

Meet the artist: Monalisa Sarkar

With a love for textures, composition and colour Kolkata-based Monalisa Sarkar's works are often recognisable by the soft brush strokes of acrylic colors contrasted against the clear representations of the subject. Apart from acrylic colour, she loves to draw using charcoal and pen ink. Her paintings reflect the intimacy of human beings, creatures and nature.

Meet the Artist: Madhu Sharma

Madhu's artwork is a captivating exploration of dreams and the natural world. Her paintings transport viewers into dreamlike landscapes, urging a deeper connection with nature and highlighting the need for environmental stewardship. Through vibrant ecosystems and intricate details, Madhu uses art as a powerful medium for social change.

Meet the artist: Lipishree Nayak ( )

Lipishree Nayak's artwork portrays Odisha's traditional festivals. This Bhubaneshwar-based artist's work captures an individual's profound devotion and commitment to these cultural celebrations. Through active participation in art camps, she preserves and promotes the state's rich heritage, showcasing her deep-rooted connection to these traditions and her ability to celebrate them through art.

Meet the artist: Chandrima Bhattacharyya ( )

With a background in ceramics and art history, Santiniketan-based Chandrima found her true calling in drawing. Her work seamlessly blends realism and surrealism, capturing the essence of life experiences, observations, and emotions. Inspired by nature and informed by historical and contemporary art, her unique style explores the world through a personal lens.

Chandrima is a participant at the upcoming Pan-india Residency, scheduled to be held from 16.05.2024 to 20.05.2024, only at Shailja Art Gallery.

'Paint from your heart. Don't worry about the result or whether people will like it. The moment you paint from your heart, half the work is done and you would have done justice to your work' — Rajeev Lochan, artist, professor, and former director of National Gallery of Modern Arts.

Artist Yuriko Lochan, too, echoed these thoughts, encouraging one to let creativity flow without worrying about aesthetics.

We're honoured that the Lochans made time to join us for the preview of Urban Voices — Gurugram Chapter. We couldn't have asked for better chief guests than the talented yet humble couple. ❤️

Meet the artist: Soni Khanna

Soni Khanna's passion for art stemmed from a very young age. She pursued her graduation and post- graduation in fine arts. She even learned and gained expertise in Tanjore style of painting and then gradually turned to contemporary art.

Painting for Soni is to give expressions to her inner vision, a way of liberating herself and celebrating life. She loves capturing the innate behavior of Indian woman on her canvas with minimalistic
embellishment. The feathers and delicate figures symbolize the feminine shyness, submissiveness and warmth. The colors and strokes show another side of the woman that is often hidden - bold, confident and independent.

Khanna will be displaying her works at Urban Voices : Gurugram Chapter, only at Shailja Art Gallery.
