The Palette of India

Exploring the artistry of Priyanka Banerjee.

- 

Priyanka Banerjee is an accomplished Indian contemporary artist whose creative journey is fuelled by her rich cultural heritage and love for vibrant colours and textures. Hailing from Bokaro Steel City, she pursued her passion for art while balancing academic and management studies.

A self-taught artist, Priyanka has exhibited widely, with solo and group shows across India. Known for her distinctive use of watercolours and pastels, her work captures the essence of Rajasthan's landscapes and people, bringing them to life with a unique, vibrant perspective.

Could you take us on a journey through your latest collection? What inspired its title, and what experiences influenced its creation?

I have drawn inspiration from my extensive travels. The title of the exhibition is Vibrant West of India.

The states of Rajasthan and Gujarat have always been close to my heart. The brilliant display of colours, intricate and timeless designs in their forts, fabrics, artworks, and handicrafts have always charmed me and inspired me to express them vividly on canvas or paper using different mediums.

What would you say is the essence of your recent works? Is there a common thread or underlying story that weaves through your pieces?
