About
I am Alka, a Contemporary Intuitive Abstract Artist. I live and work in Pune, Maharashtra, India.
​
Artist Statement:​
Deeply rooted in Spirituality and fascinated by the unknowable and unknown, my work is inspired by the thin veil between our 3-D world and 5-D, the hidden layers/dimensions/realms of our subconscious. My paintings are less about what we SEE and more about how we FEEL.
I craft intricate, layered, mystical abstract paintings that beckon the viewer to embark on a journey of self-discovery. I invite the viewers to go and sit inside my paintings, connect with the layers hidden underneath my work and in the process, explore the hidden recesses of their own minds.
​
I work in acrylics, mixed media, and collage on a variety of canvas, paper and wood.
​
Collections:
My work is in private collections in various cities in India, and USA.
