Harinder Sahota

Harinder’s work delves into the idea that the objects we gather throughout our lives can become extensions of who we are, deeply entwined with memory and emotion.

Her latest series focuses on people from her own community and the cherished items they hold close—featuring portraits of artist Ketna Patel, psychology student Anya Bhogal, yoga teacher Mita Shah, and concluding with a self-portrait. These four paintings will be showcased as part of a larger exhibition in Edinburgh this June.

26 June – 19 July 2025 | St. Margaret’s House, Edinburgh

Mixed Media

Nidhi’s art is focused on nature’s tranquility and the healing of the soul. Nidhi claims that it is both, the space we contain and occupy that invites medita- tion, to look within ourselves and form a greater connection with the world around us. Appreciating her creation is like reading her life journey, juxtapositioned between experience and imagination. She tries to capture her experiences, explor- ing different industrial materials to create a resonance with her memories, as fossilized impressions. Her Journeys Beyond Series and the Bloom series has been appreciated and collected globally.

Nidhi will be RESTING in 2025

Painter

Sandhya’s journey in this world, and in the world of art, began in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the Dehradun valley, India. It was perhaps the serene surroundings, besides something special within, that created an instant bond between her and the magnificence of colours and hues around her. The bond and the urge to recreate some of the magic of Nature, manifested with early experimentation through lines and colours on walls and floors. The urge only grew more intense with time, and so did her expressions and experimentation, albeit, with more formal media, methods and training.

Her formal grounding in art can be traced to two of the most famous schools in India, Shantiniketan and Baroda (now Vadodara). She walked her early formal paces in art under the guidance of Dr. Dwijen Sen, a disciple of the renowned artist of Shantinikatan, Nandlal Bose. Her formal exposure to art was rounded off for her under the tutelage of Proffesor Ranbir Saxena, a well known landscape artist and a student of Bendre. These formal endeavours culminated in 1977, when she earned a Masters in Fine Arts.
But, that culmination was only to formal learning. She never stopped at that, and neither did she permit the formalism of structured education to constrain her creativity and urge to break new grounds.
She has nearly fifty years of professional experience behind her, rubbing shoulders with some of the top contemporary painters of her times.

She believes in art working for upliftment of humanity in general and likes her art to spread a sense of positivity, harmony and happiness across the globe.
