My story
I am Praha, a South Indian artist based in Bangalore. My creative practice is a sanctuary—a meditative space where intuition guides my hand across canvases and clay.
My background in architecture instilled in me a deep reverence for space, form, and narrative. This foundation now supports a different kind of construction: one of emotion and energy. Through rhythmic repetitions of dots, circles, and lines, I build visual mantras. Bright colors and organic forms become my materials for quiet explorations of presence, the sacred feminine, and universal human stories.
