Shifali N Mehra is a contemporary artist and entrepreneur from New Delhi. Trained at the College of Art in New Delhi and Central Saint Martins College of Art in London, she credits her extensive education for her development as an artist.
Mehra’s work is recognised for its surrealist depictions merging human figures with nature. Her artworks are mostly inspired by the events of her own life. From examining her role as a woman in a traditional Punjabi family in the painting King & Queen, to recollecting feelings of amusement during her time in Bali through the Bali Series, Mehra uses the canvas as a means to meditate on her own experiences, emotions and memories. She says, “Art is my internal dialogue, and my works are guided by my inner impulse, a longing for certain forms, colours and materials, and it is not until they are on canvas that they tell me what they want.”
Mehra also founded the art training school Art Wonder, where she works as an art therapist and teacher.
