Biography:

Sanjana Nagpal is a 22-year old painter based in New Delhi. She completed her BFA at the College of Arts in Delhi, where she is also currently pursuing her MFA. Her passion for art arose in childhood and grew to a point where she decided to make it her profession. She has been featured in the St. Stephen’s College Art Exhibition and an exhibition and workshop organized by the Korean Cultural Centre in Delhi, among others. Over her short career she has won around 45 awards and certificates for her distinctive paintings. In addition, she has considerable experience using her speech and hearing impairment as a performing mime. She has been featured in several mime acts at her college and on world stages, including at the India World Foundation. 

Nagpal’s paintings are immersive and sensory, full of lush colors and textures depicting the natural and constructed world. The often-surreal scenes bring the viewer into a new realm, unfettered by physical limitations like her speech and hearing impairment. Rather, they bridge the gap between alternate realities with steps as fluid as her brushstrokes.
