Krishi Shah
Active since 2018
Krishi Shah (b. 2000) is influenced by the gentle rhythms of the wilderness and the serene joy of being amidst nature. Her art invites viewers to fully immerse themselves in the sensations, emotions, and healing power of the natural world. From a young age, visits to her family’s farmhouse in the lush, green hills instilled in her a profound appreciation for nature. The myriad shades of green, the rhythmic pattern of rain, and the soothing rustle of leaves always lift the spirits. This connection to nature has deeply influenced Shah’s artistic journey, infusing her works with tranquillity and reverence for the natural world. During the painting process, she enters a trance, losing track of time while capturing every detail—flaws, specks of dirt, and marks—to reveal the true essence of the subject. This meditative process is profoundly fulfilling and allows her to connect deeply with her work. Her art seeks to capture nature's fleeting dance and human emotions, echoing life's poetry. Through her work, Shah advocates for the preservation of natural habitats and the mental health benefits of green spaces, striving to protect nature for future generations.
