Highlight of the month
DIVINE SEAS BY VIDYA DEVI SONI
Vidya Devi Soni reimagines Mandana through a striking composition where traditional motifs meet storytelling. Using natural pigments on paper, she carries forward a practice rooted in ritual and protection, transforming it into a contemporary language. The patterns, lines, and symbolic figures evoke celebration, and a deep connection between home, nature, and the divine.

FEATURED ARTISTS
VIDYA DEVI SONI
74 year old Vidya Devi Soni lives in Bhilwara, Rajasthan and started painting at the age of six, with the guidance of her parents. She is an expert at Mandana, an art form from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, traditionally wall and floor paintings that were used to protect the home, welcome the gods into it, and signal celebration on festive occasions. Vidya Devi transfers the traditional techniques, themes and motifs of Mandana to paper, using natural colours, giving new life to this rich, ancient art form.
RUCHI BAKSHI SHARMA
Ruchi Bakshi is a filmmaker, artist, and toymaker. Her picaresque characters, often based on outlandish folklore and equipped with supernatural powers, seem to inhabit a strange and wonderful world of myth and fancy and reflect her own fringe theories about the origin ofour world. Everything that surrounds her soaks into her art, emphasizing her interest in creating an alternative way of seeing. Ruchi works with a variety of media, ranging from optical toys, animating wonder turns, lenticulars to jointed paper puppets, zines, and illustrated puzzles.
