Shivani Mathur

If there was a single word tp describe my practice, it would be
Non Linear

My work is about breakage, fractures, conflict and decay. It depicts gaps and cracks, not as fault lines, but as pathways that allow light to shine through.

Pathways that lead us to see what we had not seen before, touch what appears to be intangible, and dream the impossible.

Below is a selection of portfolios.

Shivani works with Oil paints, charcoal, sculpture and installation and digital interactive and generative art. Influences of her mathematical background, her multicultural upbringing, her experiences as a woman and a minority surface in her work repeatedly. Her current portfolios are situated at the intersection of art, science amf technology, They are directly influenced by research in three distinct disciplines:

- Ancient Indian philosophy from the Upanishads, emphasizing self-discovery and interconnectedness, encouraging individuals to look within themselves to understand the universe.
- The Japanese art of Kintsugi, celebrating imperfections and breakage.
- Quantum physics, which explores subatomic particle behavior and questions how they are related to the cosmic scale.

At the core of her creative practice lies the belief that art transforms lives.
