About the Artist (BIO):
Best known for her miniature inspired surreal landscapes, Laxmipriya Panigrahi received a Bachelor of Visual Arts [painting) from Balasore Art and Crafts College, Orissa [2013] and Master of Visual Arts [painting] from Utkal University of Culture, Orissa [2015]. By fusing stylistic elements drawn from the traditional miniatures and pattachitra paintings of Orissa, her landscapes can be described as kaleidoscopes of bright, vibrant and joyous colours. Laxmipriya predominantly works with watercolours on paper to create intimate and fantastical landscapes with laborious details.
