Meet the Artist:
Born in India and now based in New Zealand. Though I graduated in Computer Science, my childhood passion for art never faded. After a successful career as a Software Engineer, I'm now embracing my true calling as an artist.
Artist’s statement:
Rashi Shandiliya: Where obsession meets art, creating masterpieces that inspire and awe.
My approach is rooted in theme-based and figurative realism, where I strive to create paintings that are both visually striking and thought-provoking.
My artwork reference cultural heritage, inner feelings, and the relationships that shape our sense of self and community.Through my pieces, I examine the complexities of human forms and the ways in which they interact with the world around them.
