Ritika Kumari

Hi, my name is Ritika Kumari. I'm a visual artist from Varanasi, India. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, specializing in painting.
My work, which includes paintings and murals, is an exploration of my personal experiences and emotions. My art serves as a window into my world. I am a strong believer in the transformative power of self-love and confidence, and I strive to convey these themes in my art. I hope that by sharing my journey, I can inspire others to embrace their inner power.
My artistic style is a blend of abstract and figurative elements in vibrant colours. I use bold colors and simple forms to create visually striking compositions that evoke a sense of introspection and emotional resonance. As a woman raised by a family of strong women, I am passionate about celebrating the resilience and strength of the feminine spirit. Through my art, I aim to empower others and encourage them to connect with their own inner strength.

I've participated in several group exhibitions and have been recognized as one of Varanasi's "fierce and fearless" women. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my art with the world and to connect with people on a deeply personal level. I believe that art has the power to transcend...
