Richa Kashelkar

Richa is an artist based out of Goa. She has studied architecture and has been working as a photographer for a decade. With painting, she found a medium with absolutely no restrictions, with which she could freely express her inner world; everything she thought and felt and loved.

She paints whatever catches her fancy and is inspired by her surroundings. "What I find myself gravitating towards is the beauty of this world and the mystery of this life. I like to paint the world as I would have wanted it, and a world that CAN be so. I often incorporate local elements like vernacular architecture, fabrics and regional flora & fauna - for I feel it is impossible to not be inspired by your surroundings".
