Radiate Roshni

Artist Statement

As an occupational therapist by training and an artist by inclination, I've uncovered the profound potential in harnessing our innate artistic energies for healing and empowerment. My creative journey serves as a guiding light through the landscapes of past wounds, personal losses, spiritual insights, and the rekindling of inner shakti.

My artistic expressions draw inspiration from a diverse array of sources, including personal experiences, keen observations, self-captured photographs, and dedicated research. They evolve into analog sketches to intricately layered digital drafts before materializing as mixed media on canvases. Fine lines, echoing the intricacy of South Asian art forms, dance across my work. Hues of blue, green, pink, and yellow evoke serenity, vitality, femininity, and light while deeper hues symbolize hidden depths of unseen and infinite brilliance. You'll also uncover recurring symbols, hidden treasures of Gujarati script, and elements of nature, all reflecting my soulful identity.

In harmony with the practice of ahimsa, the Indian principle of non-violence, and by channeling my artistic voice, I create to nurture inner acceptance and ignite a revolution. My mission is to inspire and empower all souls to embrace their inner fire, cultivate resilience, boldly flourish, and thrive within their unique and magical radiance.
