In David Foster Wallace’s speech “This is Water”, he recounts a tale of two young fish swimming in the water. The young fish are approached by an older fish who asks them what the water is like on that day, and the younger fish are confused, “what is water?” they wonder. The ripples embody consciousness and the active agency people hold in affecting surroundings, what otherwise could just be still unquestioned water. The fluidity in the piece conveys a serenity, acknowledging that consciousness is not so much a disturbance as it is a natural procession.

Shreya Mehta is an award-winning fine artist who explores, in her vibrant and varied works, the social issues of identity, gender, power and spirituality. Her art has been exhibited across the globe, from the Indian Consulate in New York to the private collection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In fact, Mehta secured her place at the Royal Academy of Art in Belgium as the first woman of Indian origin, graduating with none other than the prestigious V.R.I.K.A Award. Born in India, raised and trained in Belgium, and now living and working in New York, Mehta brings a global perspective and a positive touch to all her endeavors. She creates both representational and abstract works thus defying categorization through constant, energetic change and an inquisitive nature. Classically trained and digitally competent, Mehta is ever folding new skills into her command of more tested mediums. Mehta works in charcoal, paint, wax, ink, glass and photoshop, but is only defined by her openness, curiosity and creativity. Like her mixed-media toolbox, Mehta grapples with a swirling mix of personal issues universally known to many as the juxtaposition of Eastern and Western cultures through the forces of old, traditional ways in a progressive, global world. A practicing Jain, Mehta infuses a unique spirituality into her work, exploring her inner life and her external presence in her many roles. In her most current show, The Identity Series, Mehta brings together the face of global identity. Delving deep into her own experiences and observations, she creates abstract imagery using text from her three native languages–Gujrati, English and Dutch. Constantly inspired by Gandhi's quote, "be the change you wish to see in the world", Mehta denies any profits for personal wealth, thus donating all proceeds of her work to charitable causes; She is represented by Payal Arts International in New York City. Mehta’s art is made for pleasure and with passion, simply intended to delight, inspire and inform. For more information on the artist, please visit her website: http://www.shreyamehta.com
