Devika Arangil

She is an artist whose work delves into the intricate emotions surrounding childhood trauma, identity, and the concept of normalcy. Through mixed media—incorporating acrylics, watercolors, and color pencils—she creates abstract and surreal pieces that convey complex, often challenging themes with playful, vibrant colors. The use of vivid hues contrasts with the darker, more reflective subjects of her work, creating a dialogue between lightness and depth.

She holds a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design from NIFT, Chennai, and a Graduate Diploma in Creative Practice from Kingston University, London. Although her formal education began in fashion, her creative journey expanded into visual arts, blending design sensibilities with the freedom of painting and mixed media.
