Deepikah is an interdisciplinary artist based in Bangalore, India. Trained in Communication design from Delhi, she uses painting and installation art to express issues related to gender, self-worth and perception. Her project Trial Room tackles body dysmorphia and social conditioning and was exhibited at Gender Bender 2018 and then at The Irregulars Art Fair in 2019. She was one of the three selected residents for Fissure, curated by Shaleen Wadhwana at Virtual Nursery 2020 by Pollinator which culminated in an online exhibition in January 2021.

As a self-taught artist, Bahaar’s paintings are an amalgamation of very different disciplines, law and the freedom of an artist detached from the straightjacket of definition and boundaries. Exploration, experimenting and stitching the picture with her engagement with society is the essence and motivation beyond her art practice.  She paints a lot from the visuals & epiphanies from her dreams, her fascination for the cosmos and real-life case studies & experiences.

She works with different mediums: paper, rubber, resin, cement, sand, etc., and figured a unique way of burning resin and reduced rubber together to give a structural effect on the base. Bahaar’s works are heavily influenced by the Cosmos and galaxies, landscapes and experiences/ conversations from her travels because she firmly believes that there is a lot beyond what meets the eye – so this inquiry and looking for plausible answers is her drive.

Ashmi is a writer, artist, and business leader. Having lived for the last 12 years in London, Singapore, India, and her most recent home, Malta; she is inspired by the

There is Silence –

In between the clouds, between the rivers, between the rays of light, In between the words you speak, in between every step you take. There is this Silence in between each breath... I breathe. The more I accept, the more it expands.

For Sarika, the most exciting part of Art is that it acts above all on the soul, in sculpting it's spiritual composition.

Her art is an attempt to unearth the unsounded depths of human potential and the furthest reaches of our emotions. Those raw feelings that make us human are universal and they often reside beneath the known surface of everyday interactions. It is Mehta’s attempt to travel as deeply as possible, by cutting through the noise, to touch that virgin space that has the same effect on all humans. That helps us connect with each other beyond the slavery of logic or words.

Sarika’s works delve into different raw aspects of our personality but the subjects vary as per the evolution of her personal journey.

Her work enjoys a certain restrain, while space inspires her style. The slippages of content from the subconscious mind give tonal value to her work while striving to bring the ‘nameless’ through that which is left unsaid.
