Kalpna Saksena

Kalpna Saksenas love of art dates from an early influence from her father, who almost abandoned his medical studies to pursue the life of an artist. She says "drawing has always been a passion for me and the route that has lead me to painting for the last twenty years. Paint offers me a medium to express the images which interest me in a wide variety of ways and colours."

Her painting themes revolve around humans and their environment, from buildings to machinery to everyday objects. She likes to represent a compelling image, portraying it in her work such that it draws in the viewer to explore and consider whatever they wish - how we live; our surroundings and our environment.
