Yashika Sugandh
Untitled

- Yashika Sugandh was born in Kolkata in 1993, raised in New Delhi and later moved to Noida. She earned her BFA and MFA in Painting from Amity University, Noida.

Yashika’s work has always been like a visual diary inspired by life, to get a better understanding of the world around her. Her subject matter is closely related to her emotions and experiences, and what she has seen, read and heard. It empathises with flora and fauna.

Her interest in art was first recognised by her mother at the age of four.

The things that she started missing as she moved was the life around her, a life of those that went unnoticed, and it was the trees, the birds and the animals. What if they also think the same? They have been facing all kinds of changes in their homes, they have been on a constant move whilst they coexist and support each other in walking together in their changing ecosystems.

Yashika’s artworks are a stream of both sub-consciousness and consciousness, resonating with things she observes around her and her imagination – nature being the significant window of ideas. The movement she has experienced can be seen in her artwork through the elements in her works. So often this thought strikes her: what if they take back what belongs to them? Can our furniture grow back? Are we taking all the food away from them? Can they grow their food on them, so that they never go to sleep on an empty stomach?

A large part of the artworks feature tree branches, as they have been a giver and all living things coexist because of trees. They are like the elders of our home, taking care of us and undemanding.

Her intent in her artworks is to experience happier playful times, and nostalgic exaggerated memories because they give you an instant smile once you think about it.

Her technique of painting is quite captivating and meditative. Her interest in Indian miniature paintings has helped her generate a unique language of her own. The message and the feeling as a takeaway from her works is similar to what is quoted in the Bhagavad Gita: “Let us become humbler like a beard of grass, more tolerant like a tree, ready to give all respect to others and don't expect anything.” Trees are “Paropkar” and the symbol of total dedication of compassionate service towards others.

She has participated in group exhibitions for Art Mumbai, India Art Fair, Birla Academy of Art and Culture, Jehangir Art Gallery, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Lalit Kala Akademi, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), HT City Imagine Fest, Artbuzz Studios, and Emergent Art Space. She received the City Award for Delhi in Kalanand Art by the Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation in 2017, and the All-India Merit Grant for lockdown Art by the same foundation in 2021. - Yashika Sugandh was born in Kolkata in 1993, raised in New Delhi and later moved to Noida.
