  My name is Radhika.
I am an artist from India. I embrace abstract painting as the main avenue in my practice. With my work, I explore the materiality of mediums to conceptually convey the intangible. Drawing inspiration from my roots, my works dwell deep into human perception, life energies and nature's splendour.
I began exhibiting in 2013 and have been working on commissioned painting projects since 2016. I graduated with my BA (Hons.) in Fine Art Practice from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), UK in 2020 and Diploma in Fine Art from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), Singapore in 2019.

My cultural roots, the mechanics of human perception, characteritics of life energies and nature's splendour endlessly inspire me.

My cultural roots, the mechanics of human perception, characteritics of life energies and nature's splendour endlessly inspire me. 

My works aim at offering individual experiences that are mentally and emotionally immersive, leading to self reflection as the consequence. 

The yogic sciences, psychology, global art history and the evolution of how art has played and continues to play cultural, social, political, geographical and economic roles, lend me immense inspiration. 

A few art movements that inspire me are post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, cubism and fauvism.
