Srinia Chowdhury
I was born to educated, liberal Bengali parents and raised in New Delhi—a city that offered freedom and fear in equal measure. At home, I was encouraged to think, question, and create; outside, I learned caution within patriarchal expectations. This tension between openness and restraint continues to shape my work.
My work primarily focuses on the tension between who we are and the identities we inherit, perform, and become under social expectations.
Drawing from personal experience and observation, it reflects on self-perception, belonging, and how we come to see ourselves through the eyes of others. It holds uncertainty, humour, and moments of self-recognition.
My practice carries a quiet rebellion against the often-unspoken pressure on women to fit into prescribed roles. Through satire and allegory, I invite viewers to examine the systems that shape our lives while also holding space for the resilience, vulnerability, and strength that emerge in response.
My transition from bronze to ceramics allows me to sculpt, draw, and paint within a single material language. Influenced by Indian art, pop art, mythology, and folk tales, I combine familiar forms with surreal interventions using vibrant colour and bold graphic detail. This shift has moved my practice toward visual narratives that integrate image, material, and meaning into a single language.
