About

I create vibrant acrylic paintings on canvas, linen, and silk, exploring themes of feminism, social justice, and Indian culture. My work often incorporates elements from Tamil literature and ecological themes, using bold colors and intricate details to convey powerful narratives.

Unique Aspects

  • Integration of traditional and contemporary Indian art elements
  • Use of natural materials and cultural motifs
  • Focus on social commentary through art
  • Detailed work with vibrant color palettes

Ideal For

Those seeking meaningful art pieces that combine cultural depth with modern feminist perspectives, particularly collectors and spaces wanting artwork that sparks dialogue about social change.

Additional Details

I offer both ready pieces and commissioned works, with my signature series including "Half a Woman" exploring womanhood and identity, and pieces like "Marudham" depicting agrarian life and prosperity themes.

My Story

I’m Girija, words spill out of me - sometimes it’s just tears. My mind races, my body’s always catching up. Never had it easy, life’s a wild ride, but I’ve always had love. My sisters, my friends, my partner of 17 years, and my daughter - watched her grow from a tiny preemie to a fierce, kind adult. My mom was my first home, poured love into me. When it’s all too much, I run off to Tiruvannamalai, or float in a river. Water holds me. Still searching. Jai Bhim 💙

My Work

Murals, illustrations, and workshops - I make political mural art, book illustrations, portraits, and run gender violence art workshops.

Art as activism - My art starts tough conversations - about gender, child abuse, society. Truth is art for me.

Process over perfection - I let the paint lead, focus on energy and likeness. Expressive portrait painting, never just realism.

Art for NGOs and families - I work with NGOs, collectives, and make commissioned family art that lasts beyond us.
