Varnita Sethi

1987
"
Desire as emotion
"
In Varnita’s work, the everyday turns playful. Based in NCR, she brings humour and intimacy into bold strokes of colour and layered forms. The canvases might feel daring at first glance, but they carry something softer within — memory, tenderness, a personal echo. She makes the erotic light, even funny, never tipping into scandal. What stays is a sense of surprise: art that disarms with boldness but lingers with feeling.
