Latest Update

"Hi friends! I am Shikha Kaistha. I staunchly believe that magic happens with every breath we inhale during our lifetime. The respiration process, undoubtedly scientific, yet, is extremely spiritual. The world's existence, life, energy and similar cryptic thoughts continued to fascinate me for years. I ruminate over it for a long time; intrigued by the beautiful creation designed and created by the mysterious Creator. All doubts, gradually, with experience settled down; unraveling a beautiful path gleaming towards the divine light. It simply can’t be described in words.

"The mystical experience inspired me to be an artist. My creative professional background, along with divine blessings, enabled me to develop a creative, artistic spiritual thought process, with which I can portray the cryptic phenomena: human mind, body, soul, and universe on the canvas.

"My major artworks highlight the myriad stratum of the cosmic world. It also showcases divine light showering her blessings to the entire universe. I believe I don’t paint but meditate along with colors, brushes, and canvases. Such is the ecstasy that I derive from painting.

"I aspire to make pieces of art that bring joy to everyone who sees them. Despite being different in color, sex, nationality yet all of us are beautifully connected and knitted with a divine thread. My art pieces mirror them on the canvas. I am sincerely grateful to Novica for giving me such a wonderful platform to showcase my talent to the whole world."

Original Artisan Story

“Hi Friends! I am Shikha Kaistha. I was born in 1981. I am a graduate in fashion design. As a librarian, I was always attracted by and inclined to do creative things. My creativity dates back to my childhood days. I loved to draw and paint; bright colors always fascinated me. As I grew up, I started loving the dreamlike quality of art. I could draw anything and everything that my brain imagined. I feel like art takes me to another world. Such is the ecstasy that I derive from painting.

“Now, I am based in Mumbai. Since moving here, I got married and started working in a garment export house. But, my passion for art and love for creating new things has made me an artist. Since I always wanted to do something creative and unique, I decided to start painting and give form to my passion and hobby.

“I am a self-taught artist. People and things around me are my source of inspiration. Hindu culture and tradition have also inspired me to paint. I believe in the power of meditation and have observed the positivity and happiness that it brings to one’s mind. Positive visualization is a very powerful tool to bring about positive changes in life.

“My favorite thing about art is that, once I am into the mood, my art keeps developing itself in my mind. I love the concept of mixed media and incorporate it with acrylic on canvas. I also love to work with dot art, since it is a part of meditation. Doing this regularly will definitely increase patience and focus. I use materials that are available locally and are easy to work with. My husband has been a constant support in organizing the raw materials, such as wood, canvas, colors, etc. I have a beautiful daughter who is also fascinated by my work, and she keeps asking me about methods and other details.

“It is super fantastic to have started on my own. I want to be a well-known artist. I aspire to make pieces of art that bring joy to everyone who sees them. I wish to thank Novica for giving me such a wonderful platform to showcase my talent to the whole world.”
