THE ARTIST
Deepti Nair
Deepti Nair led an itinerant childhood in Africa and across India. The hues and tones of those formative years have informed her artistic exploration of texture and perspective, drawing her increasingly toward the semi-abstract genre.
Her professional career in art began over a decade ago and she has since exhibited and sold her work both in India and abroad. During this period she collaborated on a painted abstract art installation at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival and conducted workshops for children there. She has volunteered her time for various charitable art projects, including the Jai Vakeel fundraiser curated by Arzan Khambatta.
When not working on her own art, she enjoys writing about art and other subjects, and creating conceptual essays for other artists. She holds a Master's degree in English Literature and is a self-taught artist.
