Astha is a proud woman of color. She creates modern-day women portraits that capture essence and facets of their identity, and leans on vibrant colors and vivid imagery to portray her women. Through her work she celebrates beauty, strength and diversity of women.
She draws inspiration from everyday women she meets, reads about and the ones she has had around her growing up. Her art is influenced by Indian and African culture, graffiti, New York streets and just about anything spontaneous.
Through her work she represents a variety of narratives - there's hidden beauty within each one of us, what you see on the outside is just a coat of what we show to the world, we all have imperfections that we should embrace and we are way stronger than we think we are!
She has auctioned her artwork for charity for the last 4 years towards education and equality.
