My love for art and creativity became apparent from a very young age. I grew up making art projects with my dad, doodling in my Disney journal, and winning medals for various art and craft competitions. My fascination with colors and textures is the moving force behind my acrylic-based abstracts, which reflect my deep appreciation for the calming energy of nature and the hidden power within all of us. Through my art, I want to spread peace, positivity, and the power that I feel while making each of these pieces. I express myself using different color palettes, layered brushwork, rich textured surfaces, and mark-making.
I was born and raised in the beautiful country India. I left my country in 2019 and have had the opportunity to explore new places and cultures around the globe (Montréal, Hawaii, Dubai, Thailand) which influenced my art and the way I think. I now live and work in Seattle, where I have been developing my style, technique, and use of materials since 2021.
So welcome to my world! Let the textures embrace you, the colors wash over you, and the whispers of serenity guide you into your inner calm. This is my gift, my offering, my love, a piece of my heart, poured onto the canvas, waiting to soothe your heart and paint a smile on your soul.
With Love,
Ayushi Raj
