Shabari Shetty

I am a self-taught artist from India working across painting and conceptual photography. My work explores the quiet spaces between reality, imagination, and human experience, often using simple objects, figures, and familiar imagery to express ideas that are difficult to put into words.

I am drawn to symbolism, contrasts, and the unexpected meaning that ordinary things can carry. Whether through a photograph or a painted image, I like creating works that leave room for the viewer to pause, interpret, and find something of their own within them.

My approach is intuitive and experimental. I am less interested in following a fixed style and more interested in allowing each idea to determine its own form.

For me, art is a way of turning thoughts, questions, and fleeting observations into something tangible.
