Puja Nagi

I am a vibrant, introspective artist who draws deeply from personal experiences, using art as a transformative journey. Inspired by the words of Frida Kahlo, “I am my own muse, the subject I know best and want to know better.” This philosophy resonates through my work, where every piece serves as both a self-reflection and a celebration of life’s beauty, challenges, and small, radiant joys.
Life, to me ,is a “beautiful, ever-evolving roller coaster,” and I bring it to the canvas in colors as bright and dynamic as my perspective. For me, art is a means to capture the everyday magic in life’s simple moments—the light, the colors, the little joys. Each hue represents a facet of the world as I see it: vibrant, hopeful, and always open to new growth and understanding.
But there’s also a deeper purpose: art as a tool for healing and resilience. Battling anxiety and fear, I have faced a personal “war” every day—a struggle against intrusive thoughts and the looming shadow of worry. For me, painting is more than a passion; it’s a form of liberation, a way to make fear less daunting. Color becomes a weapon, transforming the internal into something visually beautiful and bearable.

Trained in creative direction and visual storytelling. Masters in Advertising and Marketing.
Self-taught in painting and digital experimentation.
Two decades of shaping images, from brushstroke to prompt, from sketch to screen.
My true education? For me, painting is more than a passion; it’s a form of liberation, a way to make fear less daunting. Color becomes a weapon, transforming the internal into something visually beautiful and bearable.
Spiritual practices complement my art, helping me find peace, yet it’s in the act of creating that I truly find solace.
