"avAnt gaRde arTist sheena dhanaraj draws inspiration from people and thereby portrays human “expressions” in contrasting media & genre.

“Tints & Tones” is a benediction to colour and falls under the genre of Pop Art, while “Ebony & Ivory” reveres the traditional art of Graphite Sketches on paper and "Rurally Warli" motifs folk art.

Dabbling with contemporary media (digital art), and inspired by... the great Andy Warhol, the essence of her prints is colour captured in time. The choice of colours creates a sense of reflections and feelings; memories, emotions and identity.

In stark contrast stands her Black and White and Shades of Grey sketches, which are photo-realistic and impressionistic at the same time. She is creatively adept in capturing the moods and feelings of the subject in her drawings and is able to portray to the viewer what the subject might be going through.


Scrawny matchstick hoi polloi, hunting, dancing or cultivating, motifs the folk art form evolved from the Warli tribe. Simplicity is the goal achieved through Warli scrawls on paper, thus making her acrylics ‘Rurally Warli’.
