Puja Kshatriya is a merit scholar and a graduate from Delhi College of Art. She engages with the prismatic play of textures, surfaces, fragments and shapes. Her work is characterised by attention to detail combined with the spontaneous intermeshing of colours and textures. A large part of her oeuvre is a sensitive and empathetic exploration of the myriad possibilities of the human face, taking the art of portraiture to innovative dimensions. Her mixed media works weave unspoken narratives about lives of people through their visage. She has had four solo shows of which ìPause and Playî by Artspeaks India at Shridharani Gallery, Triveni Kala Sangam, ìConstruct Deconstructî, at Museum Art Gallery, Mumbai and a solo at Jehangir Art Gallery are important. She has been part of the Sharjah Biennale, the India Art Fair and an exhibition of ëWomen Artistsí
