Suhani’s work explores the fluidity of emotions and time through the use of lines, which they view as symbolic of nature’s constant cycles and human experiences. Their inspiration stems from childhood memories of a family mansion and the cultural heritage surrounding it. Through their drawings and paintings, filled with intricate lines, the artist reflects on the impermanence of happiness and sadness, creating a connection between personal memory and universal change. Ultimately, their art serves as a vessel for both personal peace and a deeper message of love and humanity, offering viewers the same sense of tranquility that the artist finds in their creative process. 

Suhani Jain lives and works in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
