Priyanka Swamy is a contemporary mixed media artist based in San Francisco Bay Area. From a young age, she recognized the profound significance of art in her life, nurtured by a family of creative individuals who encouraged her artistic expression. For Priyanka, painting and sketching have been transformative practices, offering her a means to explore her inner self and find peace. Her artistic process is characterized by patience and intention, with each brushstroke carefully planned to achieve the desired mood and effect. She enjoys experimenting with a variety of mediums and techniques within her acrylic paintings, often merging seemingly unrelated ideas to create harmonious compositions. This approach reflects her desire to connect with her Indian heritage, aiming to present ancient cultural narratives through a contemporary lens. She questions the celebration of certain cultural traditions that resist change, advocating for the celebration of cultural transformation as a means to foster unity and inclusivity. This philosophy forms the core essence of her work, as she seeks to revive and reinterpret old ideas in ways that resonate with modern audiences.
