Arti Chauhan

I am a UK-based representational artist, originally from India and now a British citizen, dedicated to painting as a full-time practice.

Inspired by the natural world, my work centres on emotive animal portraiture, combining realism with expressive brushwork and a vibrant, contemporary use of colour. While fine detail remains integral to my approach, I am equally drawn to capturing presence, energy, and atmosphere.

Over time, my practice has expanded into oils and acrylics, allowing me to explore seascapes and more abstract forms that emphasise texture, movement, and emotional resonance.

Rooted in a deep connection to nature, my work reflects both observation and intuition — an ongoing journey of creative exploration and refinement.

Studied computer graphics and animation. Worked as an artist/illustrator/animator between 1994-2010. Working as a professional fine artist in the United Kingdom since 2011.
