Minal Kirtikar was born and raised in Mumbai, India. An engineer by training and an educator by vocation, she accidently discovered her passion for art during the pandemic. What began as a hobby to pass the time and to keep sanity during the lockdown, morphed into a spectacular display of seventy plus paintings. Her paintings take us on mesmerizing visual journeys, and deliver feelings of natural bliss that are felt and remembered long after our first encounter. Picturesque landscapes such as vineyards, fall foliage, sunsets on the beaches are all brought to life with contrasting and harmonious colors and bold compositions. Through her paintings we are swept into an exciting visual realm that encompasses nature’s vast sensibilities and elements and we feel its powerful visceral impact.
