Early Life and Background
Site Of The Day
Sashirekha Vijayshankar is a Bangalore-based artist whose work acts as an intimate reflection of the world she inhabits. A graduate and Gold Medalist from the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath and the Bengaluru School of Visual Arts, her creative journey is deeply rooted in the observation of domestic life, the natural world, and the silent dialogues between living creatures. Her art consists of a sensitive connection to her surroundings. Sashirekha’s paintings frequently feature a harmonious blend of human figures—particularly women across generations—and animal companions, set against the bright backdrops of home and garden. Through different media ranging from canvas and paper to glass and photo collage, Sashirekha seeks to bridge the gap between the world as it is and the ideal, empathetic world she envisions.
