Tanisha Bakshi

Practicing art, especially painting has been an integral part of Tanisha Bakshi’s life, as long as she recalls. Having won several prizes in schooltime for exceptional fine art skills, Tanisha was crystal clear about taking up art as her career, even when she scored a 97 percent in her high school and everyone around thought this scholar was going to pursue commerce, the topper decided to paint her own rainbow road to art.

Tanisha has explored the myriad colors of art on her own until she took up formal training in 2014 and is now a full time artist who operates from her studio in Gurgaon for the last seven years. Her creations primarily focus on the most beautiful of all emotions, a mother’s love. Captured in it’s many forms, a mother’s love is universal and for her it is the biggest inspiration and an unparalleled driving force.

She is the youngest Indian artist who does realistic painting of this calibre, her work style is very unique and involves the use of readymade materials as a base for her artworks. She has made it an integral part of her art practice to represent a hidden history sacred to those in the paintings, a history that she is always honoured to be a part of.

Her experiments using the saree and other readymade materials was highly appreciated by critics and media both in her first group exhibition and she went on to create huge artworks in the same language for which she won several laurels. She has since created many series, each with a unique style of her own in terms of canvas and artworks both.

Her recent collection in charcoal and oil, at the 2020 World Art Dubai received exceptional reviews, in which she has used materials that are used by a mother in her journey throughout motherhood which includes painting done on a mother’s shawl and was hung like a scroll during the exhibition. “Every scratch, every hole and every wrinkle in a mother’s cloth has a memory” explained Tanisha about her collection that captures the ‘ Essence of Slum Life’ by using two and three dimensional surfaces, which represent the daily challenges and harsh realities, hardship of a slum life and amidst it all, this pure and pious love, a mother with her child.

This passion of working on inequality and social issues led her to establish Annsagar Foundation in Palam Vihar, Gurgaon. The NGO was started in 2016 and has been consistent in its efforts ever since, supporting more than 12 nearby areas.
Throughout the pandemic lockdown and even today, more than 2500+ food boxes are distributed twice every day.
