Creating identity on canvas

want to touch people with my art.

-  VANSHIKA JAIN

I want them to say, "He feels deeply, he feels tenderly," as the words of Vincent Van Gogh read. The profound emotional connection that art can create between the artist and the audience is a driving force for many creatives. For Shruthi Challani, art has become a way of life, embodying this very essence. Shruthi shares with CE her art journey, future aspirations, and inspirations.

A casual attempt to teach her daughter to paint on canvas led to the establishment of her venture Piture Art. Drawing from the Spanish word Pintura meaning painting, Piture Art was officially launched in 2023. Since then, Shruthi's artworks have been displayed in two exhibitions - the Indian Art Festival in New Delhi and the Mumbai Art Fair where they captivated both critics and art enthusiasts alike.

Place a blank canvas before an artist and watch them create entire worlds within it, stories and emotions hidden in every brushstroke. From abstract paintings of nature to oil-painted seascapes, Shruthi's art exudes serenity and peace. "I don't follow a particular theme; I like to work in a versatile manner, exploring different styles, mediums, and subjects," she remarks.
