From the crossroads of cultures and identities, she reflects on the loss of language, the fading scents of once-familiar cities, and the distant echoes of sounds that once defined home. Her creative process is intuitive and layered, spanning sketching, painting, and mixed-media collage. Each medium offers a distinct lens through which she explores the world, deciphering its layers and uncovering the stories embedded within. Her work serves as a visual diary of cultural intersections, personal transitions, and the geopolitical landscapes she witnesses. Deeply inspired by cities—their histories, communities, neighborhoods, and their delicate balance with nature—Swapna brings an architect’s eye to her compositions. Though not formally trained as an artist, her background in architecture informs her structural approach and fuels her fascination with urban life. What began as a personal interest in sketching and painting has evolved into a layered practice of storytelling through form, texture, and color. For her, this process is not merely about creating images; it is a way of making sense of displacement, memory, and belonging.
