Artist Statement
I paint what we often overlook.
Moments that slip by — soft, small, ordinary. But never unimportant.
At The Minakari, I try to hold them still, just for a while longer.
This is a space for the unsaid, the unnoticed, and the quietly beautiful.
Each artwork begins as a feeling, becomes a memory, and ends as a story.
My brush is simply a way of remembering.

![We grow up believing that the serious work we do every day, the work we derive our worth from has to feel serious.
That it can’t be play.
That enjoying it somehow makes it less valuable.
That struggle is the proof of effort.
And so we begin to criticize everything we create.
Doubt creeps in because we’re judging ourselves too harshly.
But pause for a moment —
how joyful would it feel to approach your work with a sense of play?
To have fun with it?
To let yourself explore without wondering how the world will judge you?
Because the moment work becomes play, something magical happens:
you start doing things that genuinely surprise you.

![Most women I painted carried a little flower behind their ear. At first, I thought it was instinct. But later I realised, it was the mark my identity had been hinting at all along.
I keep painting that flower because, in some way, I’ve been wearing it all along, not for the world to see, but tucked somewhere inside, where I return to myself. 🌸

They don’t see the quiet discipline, the messy desks, the self-doubt, the restarts, the persistence.

![There are days I wish the art world understood what it really means to start over.
To move countries, raise children, lose pieces of yourself, find new ones, survive detours, heartbreaks, motherhood, healing and still choose art in the end.
Because when I finally reached a place where I could say, “Now, I choose my art,” I was met with opportunities that read:
“Young artists only.”
“Under 30 only.”
And it made me wonder…
Are the rest of us invisible?
Or are we simply creating from a deeper place they haven’t learned to value yet?
There are so many artists like me, people who arrived at art after life happened, not before it. Why should starting late mean being overlooked?
Why does the art world forget that depth often comes from living?

![This painting draws from memories of everyday India, scenes filled with movement, struggle, and an unexpected sense of warmth. What once evoked both wonder and fear in me has, over time, turned into acceptance and admiration for the beauty that exists within our chaos. It’s a reflection of who we are as a people. Our resilience, warmth, and our strange ability to find joy amid struggle. Even when life feels heavy, there’s often someone who smiles, offers help, or shares a kind word.
Through this painting, I’ve tried to capture the emotions that define my inner world: wonder, fear, compassion, acceptance, nostalgia, awe, and hope. Together, they form a tapestry of what it means to live, to feel deeply, and to belong to a country that is imperfect yet profoundly humane.

![She bloomed finally… after three quiet years of waiting, hoping, and trusting the process. This little champa has been a reminder that not everything grows where you can see it, and not every season is meant to show results. Some things take their own sweet time... just like art, just like healing, just like becoming who you’re meant to be. Watching her open felt like a soft reassurance that patience is never wasted. Even when nothing seems to change, life is still unfolding beneath the surface. And when the bloom finally arrives… it feels like a miracle you grew alongside. 🤍

![What started with a brush, a handful of colours, and a heart full of uncertainty has slowly grown into a space that feels like home. A space built on patience, and an unshakable love for creating.
Every corner of this studio holds a memory; of doubt turned into direction, of stillness turned into stories, of dreams that didn’t give up even when it was hard.
Grateful for the journey, the people who believed, and the quiet moments that shaped The Minakari into what it is today. Here’s to growth that takes its time and feels just right when it finally arrives.

![Sometimes I paint over things again and again...adding, removing, changing. What begins as a clear idea slowly evolves into something completely different. There are days when I’m convinced it’s done, and the next morning I see it with fresh eyes and realize… it isn’t.
I often get stuck in that in-between, where the painting is neither unfinished nor finished. It’s a strange place to be, but also where the real work happens. That push and pull between clarity and doubt, control and surrender.
I’ve learned to stop rushing that stage. To sit with it. To allow my paintings (and myself) the time they need to arrive. Because art, like life, rarely follows deadlines, it unfolds when it’s ready.

![People often ask me why I left.
It always comes with surprise, after all one dreams of a job like I had. Traveling to the most beautiful places, attending fashion shows, being surrounded by all that glamour.
But what most people miss is, for how long?
I did it for 14 years. And one day it hit me, "life is finite". Someday I’ll be 60, retired, and will have lived only one version of life.
When will I explore what slowing down means?
What a slow morning feels like?
What it’s like to live at your own pace, by your own rhythm, for your own wellbeing?
Change rarely feels logical, it feels right. Sometimes, God’s plan is simply better than yours.
When I look back, I can only smile at how we decided to move to Goa. With no plan, no connection, just love for this land. And somehow, everything fell into place, as if something bigger was guiding the way.
Six years later, I have a little studio here- where I paint, reflect, and have quiet conversations with myself.
It’s a tête-à-tête with life itself.
And every day, I keep finding new pieces of who I am.

![In a world where everyone says you need a certificate, a portfolio, a perfect art college transcript to make your mark… I’m here to remind you: you don’t.
Your story is your strength. The detours, the “not belonging”, the slow climb, they become the depth in your work.
Many greats never saw the inside of an art school— Frida Kahlo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grandma Moses, Henri Rousseau, Sungi Mlengeya, all self-taught.
What they had wasn’t a degree, It was an urgency to express.
So here’s to the ones who teach themselves, who paint after work, in between chores, in borrowed corners of their day.
The art world may not always see you first, but when it does, it’ll know you earned every brushstroke.
You don’t need art school to define you. You need your vision, your voice, your willingness to begin.
Let’s honour the under-dogs, the self-taught, the ones who dared. Because the world needs your art, not a degree.

A little girl, maybe on her way to school.
A man with a rooster- pet or business?
Another peeking into a box, curious about its secret.
A girl with red dupatta, perhaps heading to a celebration.
Each face a world of its own.
This boat carries more than people. It carries possibilities.

![When I first saw Tara’s sketch, I paused. In her own simple way, she had drawn what we adults often forget to notice—the fine line between childhood and growing up. One face, split in two: one side with lipstick and long hair, marked “adult,” and the other bare and short hair marked “kid.” It amazed me how she chose something as small as lipstick and hairstyle to symbolize age, yet it said so much. For her, growing up is that subtle shift, where innocence meets responsibility, where playfulness starts blending with what we call “maturity.” Seeing her idea of age made me realize how children observe life so deeply, and how beautifully they express it.

![✨ Breaking Down: The Circle We Belong To ✨
1️⃣ The Green Figures Holding Hands
They came together and started a world of their own. The green figures feel like the first generation—the ones whose bond began everything.
It makes me think about how my grandparents met, and how—without that ordinary miracle—none of us would be here. Their story began in Bihar, but it found its way to Allahabad. My grandfather got a job in the railways, straight out of college. There, he fell in love with his boss’s niece. I find that so sweet. She was a few years older than him, but that didn’t stop him. He persuaded the family, because in those days it was the families who decided everything. In the end, they got married and built a life together. Six children came along—each adding their own story.
When I look at the green figures in my painting, holding hands, I think of them—two people whose meeting began this whole circle of life that I am part of today.
2️⃣ The Generation In Between
She is the daughter who has taken after her mother—now passing it on to her own child. She is the bridge, making the little one feel safe and free, like she belongs in this circle.
3️⃣ The Little Girl
The little girl is the innocence we are all born with—free like a bird, sheltered under the wings of her mother until she grows wings of her own.
4️⃣ The Circular Brushstrokes
The circular strokes are time itself—endless, cyclical, holding together generations, stories, and love.
💫 “The Circle We Belong To” is about family, memory, and the quiet threads that keep us connected across time.
