Shilpi Dabral

I am a contemporary visual artist. My artistic practice begins with meaning rather than an image. Every painting starts with an emotion, a question, or an idea that gradually evolves into visual form through geometric abstraction.

Working in interconnected bodies of work, I explore the unseen emotional and spiritual landscapes that shape the human experience. Inspired by feminine emotions, nature, resilience, transformation, and belonging, I use geometry, symbolism, layered forms, and texture to express what often exists beyond words.

I do not seek to illustrate a single narrative or provide fixed answers. Instead, my paintings offer space for contemplation, inviting viewers to bring their own memories, emotions, and experiences into the work. Through abstraction, I hope to create moments of quiet connection where personal meaning can emerge naturally.

I am an Optometrist from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India
I am a self taught artist following art with passion.
