A dentist by profession but a storyteller by passion Jigyasa Sharma weaves tales through sculpting and painting. The self-taught artist Jigyasa is known for creating colourful, bright and bold paintings using relief sculpture and mixed media techniques with biodegradable materials such as chalk powder and clay. Her paintings have the distinctive power to communicate with the viewer through spontaneous colours and textures but also especially through the intimacy of the ability to touch the textures.
Her urge for experimentation is further manifest in her creation of relief paintings inspired by the Mexican Talavera tiles, allowing one to enjoy a burst of southern colours and culture.
She interacts and displays her art to all the aesthete through exhibitions and her website.
Jigyasa was awarded the People’s Choice Award, for embodying the theme of empowerment in creation through her work representing the creative energy of nature.
