Aparna Dev is a contemporary artist from India, an explorer of various forms of abstraction often taking inspiration from natural patterns, organic shapes, and nature around us. Her body of work also delves deep into the complexities of the human subconscious, exploring the unseen forces that shape thought, emotion, and identity.

Her regular patrons would recognize her work instantly through her frequent use of vibrant colors, elemental motifs, and gestural brush strokes at differing depths on the canvas. Her works have a way of drawing an audience with awe and engaging the viewers on a more instinctual and emotional level.

She primarily uses acrylic paint and loves to work on large canvases. Aparna loves to listen to music while creating which she describes as “Music inspires my emotional and physical energy to move around the canvas involving my whole body in the process”.

Aparna’s painting process often focuses on beauty in imperfection and incompleteness, reflecting profound depths in the spontaneous forms. Her paintings communicate beyond the visual experience often delving into layers of meaning, emotion and context that transcend what is visible on the surface.
