The mood is set with the almost soft background, adourned with pearl jewelry. Her bold beautiful eyes stare into the future.

Welcome To My World

Hello, I am Anu Kalra. The abundant natural beauty of Canada, with its stark contrasts and brilliant, vibrant colours, is what inspires me to paint and draw. As an artist, I am deeply inspired by the rich history and tradition of Indian miniature painting. I strive to honor this art form while also exploring new ways to interpret its techniques and motifs. My work is characterized by intricate details, vibrant colors, and a focus on storytelling. Each piece is a labour of love, I use a variety of materials and techniques, including acrylic paints, gouache, gold leaf, and fine brushes, to create works that are both visually appealing and meaningful.

Through my art, I hope to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity in the viewer, as well as a connection to the cultural heritage that inspired it. Whether depicting mythological scenes or everyday life, my paintings invite the viewer to step into a world that is both familiar and exotic, ancient and modern with a “Then and Now” twist. Ultimately, my goal is to create art that is not only visually stunning, but also thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. Through my work, I hope to invite viewers into a world of beauty and complexity, where ancient traditions and modern realities coexist in harmony.

My contemporary paintings are land and seascapes reflecting all seasons, and vibrant colours. I maintain the graphic influence in my work which is a reflection of my training and experience. The abundant natural beauty of Canada, with its stark contrasts and brilliant, vibrant colours, is what inspires me to paint my landscapes and abstract art. I am captivated by the different moods that colours evoke. As I see the world, humanity and colour are prominent. My love of life and my appreciation of what is beautiful is reflected in my art and my feelings for my subjects, colours and materials is coalesced in my paintings.

I have a BFA in Graphic Design from The College of Art, Delhi, India and studied at George Brown College. I worked as a graphic designer and Art Director for Discovery Magazine. I have held solo exhibitions and participated in TOAF2019 -23 and the Artist network 2022 – 2023 Richmond Hill Studio Tours and Art Fairs 2014-2022. I received an Honorable Mention Painting Award at TOAF 23.
