Artist Profile

final.jpeg

Isaiarasi (b.1990) is a young artist from Chennai. Her passion for art blossomed at a very young age, guiding her towards a dedicated path in visual arts. She pursued her Bachelor of Visual Arts (B.V.A), majoring in painting, from the Department of Fine Arts at Stella Maris College. This formal education laid a solid foundation for her artistic journey, equipping her with the technical skills and theoretical knowledge essential for her development. Initially, Isai's work was deeply rooted in realistic renditions, where she explored the figurative idiom. Her early pieces are characterized by their precision and attention to detail, showcasing her fine, patient hand. In her evolution as an artist, Isai ventured into abstract art with her stand-alone series named ‘Akash’. This series marked a significant departure from her earlier style, reflecting her ability to adapt and experiment with new artistic languages. Her strong base in figure painting provided a sturdy platform from which she could explore self-derived concepts, leading to canvases that are both inspired and surreal.

Isai continues to push the boundaries of her artistic practice, constantly exploring and evolving. Her work not only captures the essence of her subjects with precision but also transcends reality, inviting viewers into a world where imagination and technique harmoniously coexist. Isai has displayed her works in Vinyasa Premier Art Gallery, IIT Alumni Club, Art Houz, Wandering Artists, Cholamandal Artist’s Village, Lalit Kala Akademi Regional Centre – Chennai & New Delhi, Gallery Veda, Ambrosia Art Gallery, Art & Soul Gallery and Dakshinachitra and ICF (Chennai Railway Museum).
