Devika Menon

Devika Menon is an emerging contemporary artist who makes figurative art that tells a story. Her art is a commentary about life through her own existence in this world, and allows her to find her space of belonging. Her work explores her ideas of identity and spirituality, and her practice is based on depicting how women see themselves in the world.

Devika works with traditional mediums such as oils, acrylics, charcoal, and oil pastels, as well as digital mediums. She also makes Indian folk art such as Kerala Mural Paintings, Pattachitra Art, and Rajasthani Miniature Paintings. She doesn’t like restricting herself to a particular “style”, and explores a variety of techniques to communicate a unique narrative.

Originally from Kerala (India), she grew up in the Middle East in Bahrain and Dubai. Her work is influenced by her South-Indian heritage, her Middle-Eastern upbringing, and nature.
