Anubha Kaw turns enchantment of silk into entrancement of art

Anubha Kaw spent the last decade exploring various subjects, mediums and techniques of art; however, it was during her sabbatical from a rewarding career in IT, she discovered her true love: silk painting. Nature, spirituality and the serene beauty of the mountains she grew up in Kashmir, are at the heart of her inspiration. She draws from them deeply and brings them to life on the soft, luxurious canvas of silk. Whether it is the emotions provoked by a landscape or quiet moments of reflection, her pieces strive to impart grace and meaning. Her silk creations have reached audiences far and beyond, gaining her international recognition.

As a silk artist, Anubha blends tradition, craftsmanship and sustainability in her works. Specialising in hand-painted silk and intricate hand embroidery, she transforms fabric into living tapestries of movement, memory, and connection. Each of her pieces reflect an ongoing dialogue between the past and present, with ancient artistry meeting contemporary mores. Her works are a combination of abstract art on silk, touched and embossed by sinuous hand embroidery.
