ARTIST BIO
My name is Abhijna, and I am an artist based in San Francisco. My work engages with themes of feminism, womanhood, and mythology. While painting is my primary medium, I also incorporate fiber art and photography to challenge and explore the concept of femininity globally...

"The artist's choice to paint the body, impose a narrative that explores the feminine in man, woman, plant, and animal, to commend the essence of the female, her myriad emotions, sensations and passions are more of a self-search"

"Felt so wonderful to meet Abhijna and am so lucky to get her book. While reading it, her paintings make deep sense and few lines are so intense that I can relate to myself." - Sirisha Mulupuru Entrepreneur/Influencer
It is indeed a unique amalgamation of international and the indigenous that can be witnessed in Abhijna’s art. Many of her photographic documentations possess the profound stillness and earthiness of an Amrita Sher-Gil painting.

"Abhijna picked the feminine quality as a metaphor in her works to express herself. The intermingled influences of the contemporary culture from her experiences in the US, and the culture from back home where she was raised." -Lakshmi Reddy Artist/Professor
