Mixed Media

Ankita is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the convergence of digital design, illustration, and traditional art. At the age of 18, she pursued her education at Parsons School of Design, delving into the depths and possibilities of print and digital design. Upon graduation, she began breaking barriers in Tech and Art as a full time UX designer and digital artist.

“Overtime as the drawings developed, it became clear that although i was bringing them to fruition, they were creating themselves. They were curating their own stories through their expression and color palette.” 

“My art comes from my heart and therefore my paintings represent a part of my soul. I began to look internally instead of externally to discover what emotions. actions, and intentions were trying to tell me, and how they’ve helped me grow and flourish as an artist and resident of this Earth.” 

As an artist, my goal is to create liminal spaces where viewers can escape the constraints of reality and enter a world of vivid color, play, and joy. Through my work, I aim to explore the boundaries of the traditional art world and push the limits of what is possible.
