Sabeena Jindal is a New York City-based contemporary mixed media artist.

​

Art is my meditation; my singular focus in a chaordic (chaos and order) world.  I am inspired by the beauty and vibrancy of the world around me.  As a child, I spent many summers in India in my grandparents’ ancestral home in a rural Indian village.  I fell in love with the inexplicable serene chaos of life.  The throngs of people and animals, the vibrant colors, rich textures both ancient and modern all intertwined together to create a vibrant patchwork of life.

​

I invite you to notice a new detail every time you see my art – evoking a memory, excitement, and emotion attached to each fragment, form, color, and stroke.  

Shreya Mehta is an award-winning visual artist who confronts questions of identity and spirituality in her vibrant and eclectic practice. Her art—compositionally defined by its intricate layers and kaleidoscopic patterns—defies categorization, employing both representation and abstraction to showcase the latent energy that can be found at the intersection of the individual and the universal.  

Mehta was born in India and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, where she attended the Royal Academy of Art as its first woman of Indian origin. After graduating with the prestigious V.R.I.K.A Award, she is currently in New York, where she continues her practice.   

​

Mehta’s work has been exhibited at galleries and fairs in New York, Dubai, and Mumbai. Her paintings can be found in several prestigious private collections, such as that of the Prime Minister of India.

The New Jersey-based artist Sarasvathy TK is known for her hyperrealistic paintings of food from Indian cuisine.  Born in Chennai, Sarasvathy studied computer science and engineering in India, then moved to UAE and Singapore, before settling down in New Jersey. 

Sarasvathy discovered she could extend her background in engineering to the visual art field by applying the same meticulousness, precision, and dedication to art. She eventually found her calling in hyperrealism - exaggerated and vividly real food paintings.

​

Sarasvathy sketched and painted landscapes and still life objects before starting on her current Indian food series. Her recent works are a celebration of food from different regions of India. The incredibly detailed works capture the surface details, colors, aromas, and textures of food such as idli, dosa, and samosa. Her art originates from a love for Indian cuisine. She feels excited and privileged to share it with a global audience of art and food connoisseurs. Sarasvathy’s work has been exhibited at museums, galleries and fairs in USA, Singapore, Taiwan, and India.

Born and raised in Kolkata, Sajal Sarkar did his BFA in Drawing & painting from Government. College of Art & Craft, Kolkata, and did his post-graduation in printmaking from MS University of Baroda, Gujarat.

​

Recipient of several national and international awards, Sarkar’s work was dominated by human figure in the socio-political perspective, but after migrating to the US five years ago he has reshaped his more confrontational notions about life, death, and suffering into a more inward-looking existential vision -- a spiritually-inclined position to speak of human suffering and the planet’s maladies.

​

Sarkar has been exhibited in numerous solo shows in India, USA, and Singapore. His works are in prestigious collections including the Library of Congress and the National Gallery of Modern Art New Delhi and in several private collectors throughout the world.
