Anakha Nair
Artist Biography:
Art is life to me—a language of emotion, imagination, and lived truth. Each piece I create is shaped by reflections on daily life, womanhood, dreams, and resilience. My canvas becomes a space where emotions turn into stories, and my journey finds its voice.
I work across all mediums—oil, acrylic, mixed media, and sketches—choosing what best reflects the soul of each creation. Alongside painting, I am a passionate classical dancer trained in Indian traditional forms. Dance deepens my expression and has earned me a Certificate of Appreciation from the International Dance Council – UNESCO.
Born in India and now based in the U.S., I’m a self-taught artist and founder of Kalathrishna Arts Centre, a global platform for fine arts and dance. My work has been showcased at Cannes, the Louvre, ART214, and more.
