Radha Parikh

Radha Parikh is a Chicago-based abstract artist with a diverse upbringing spanning India, Nigeria, and the United States. Her work takes inspiration from textures and movement found in nature as well as urban spaces.
These observations of movement become explorations of energy and flow. Each piece begins with hand-carved textures that create directional pathways and establish how energy moves through the composition. She then layers color, finishing with vivid streaks that amplify the flow. The result captures different states of energy. Some pieces radiate outward with explosive force, others flow with steady momentum, while some hold quiet tension before releasing.
Her goal is to create surfaces that feel alive, where carved texture meets layered color to generate energy you can see and feel. Each piece invites viewers to experience the energy she's captured: to follow the pathways, feel the flow, and recognize these forces in their own surroundings.
