In her study, architect Aparna Kaushik turns to an artwork by Rohini Devasher that echoes the way she thinks about space, detail, and design

Architect and designer Aparna Kaushik leads her Delhi-NCR studio with a focus on clarity, proportion, and a considered approach to luxury.

Her work is defined by control and intention, where every line and material choice supports a larger spatial narrative. The artwork she has chosen reflects the same thoughtfulness, becoming both an inspiration and a steady presence in her workspace.

This piece, Archetype II, depicts a botanical universe shaped by science and fantasy, rendered with immaculate linework on archival paper. What caught my attention first was the way it moves between observation and imagination. It feels organic in places, cosmic in others, yet held together by a clear structure. That balance between intricacy and ease was impossible to ignore.
