I’m Gayatri

“Childhood has its own ways of seeing, thinking, and feeling.”
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I’m a contemporary artist, wife and mother, originally from India and now calling Melbourne, Australia home. Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

  My love of drawing and creating is what first led me to study architecture. Although architecture became my profession, I never really left art behind. I kept coming back to it, and over time painting became the way I most wanted to express myself.

  I paint mainly in oils and acrylics. I love colour, light, texture and expressive brushwork. For me, painting is about capturing a moment and the story within it. I want my work to create a connection with the viewer.

  I’m especially drawn to childhood—the friendships, imagination, curiosity and simple moments that can become lasting memories. I love capturing those moments in paint: the ones that might seem ordinary at the time, but somehow stay with us long after childhood has passed.
