Riecha Mishra

I am an Indian artist with over 25 years of artistic practice, deeply inspired by the indigenous Sohrai tradition of Jharkhand - a centuries-old mural art form rooted in nature, ritual, and community life. Growing up amidst the cultural landscape where Sohrai evolved, I developed a profound connection with its symbolic language, organic textures, and earth-derived aesthetics.

My work reinterprets Sohrai through a contemporary luxury lens while preserving its authenticity and cultural essence. Using hand-crafted processes, layered narratives, and intricate detailing, I create artworks that bridge indigenous heritage with refined contemporary interiors and global collectors’ spaces.

Alongside traditional Sohrai motifs inspired by flora, fauna, fertility, and sacred geometry, my artistic practice also explores materiality, sustainability, and storytelling through handcrafted surfaces and textiles. Each artwork reflects a dialogue between ancestral memory and modern sophistication.

My work has been developed with the vision of bringing Sohrai art onto international platforms while honoring the cultural roots and craftsmanship from which it originates.
