“Mother and Child is a phenomenon that I have been exploring, painting and depicting in its various moods through different series.”

Currently I’m working on a slum community in Choma Village, Gurgaon. Through my artwork I try to depict their unimaginable life in ‘Real,’ representing their expectations, reality, happiness, and love.

My paintings capture the bond and the love they share in spite of the hardship of slum life.

My work process includes detailed research and documentation on families from Choma Village, representing their struggle, vision, happiness and hardship — the “Essence of their Life.”

Practicing art, especially painting, has been an integral part of Tanisha Bakshi’s life for as long as she recalls. Having won several prizes in school for exceptional fine art skills, Tanisha was crystal clear about taking up art as her career.

Tanisha explored the myriad colours of art on her own until she took up formal training in 2014 and became a full-time artist operating from her studio in Gurgaon. Her creations primarily focus on the most beautiful of all emotions, a mother’s love.
