Austin artist Shruti Mehta combines folk and tribal art styles from both India and Europe to create her own new fusion art.
Shruti’s work spans a wide range of themes, from rural life, ethnic women, festivals and seasons, to landscapes and abstract art. She captures her expansive vision through a variety of mediums such as oil, acrylic and mixed media.
You can find Shruti’s newest work in Issue 20 “Combo,” and read ahead below to learn more about her process.
I like to combine tribal/regional art styles from India with European art styles and abstract art.
I also use a variety of media such as acrylic paints, acrylic ink, markers, mulberry paper and newspaper to create my art pieces.
Typically, I like to use one of the regional art styles from India and add the element of a place, for example, Texas, as I’ve done in my piece, “Magical Horse.” The style is Gond style from India and the horse represents Texas.
