I adore working with lots of colour and I strive to find rare visual harmonies between tones throughout various moments within the composition. Painting has always been an extremely personal and isolated experience for me, being a meditative process. The pure experience of art personally exists not in looking at the final piece, but within the moment of every brush stroke – the application of medium to canvas.

‍

In the early stages I explored with painting solely from feel - detaching my conscious self from the hand that held the paint brush. Previously, every stroke had to be precise and had to develop into the specific final view that had been decided during composition. It took a lot of practice and experimentation to find my flow – the space in which I now exist in as I paint. In that moment I free the brush, with my eyes acting as a guide in the process.

‍

The less you think about each stroke, the more you enjoy the feel of what you’re looking at.

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.

Mahima Chaudhury is a 22-year-old, multi-disciplinary Artist and Art Manager based in London. Her artworks are a glimmer into her life experiences and the complex emotions she's associated with those moments. Mahima toes the line between illustrative realism and abstract surrealism so that the viewer is able to relate to her art literally and metaphorically. Her art embodies euphoric surrealism and through the use of perspective, she forms a relationship between her environments and dream-like concepts. Mahima’s inspirations derive from her perception of people, abstract forms of communication and her identity diaspora; she takes from her experiences and reinvents them into a more beautiful version of their realities.
