I'm Sanili, a visual artist and educator deeply inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai— a purpose-driven way of living. I picked up the brush at the age of seven, and while I never had the opportunity to pursue formal training in fine arts, my creative journey has been shaped by deep observation, self-guided learning, and inspiration drawn from artists and people around the world. I work with acrylics and mixed media, blending abstract silhouettes, figurative elements, and floral motifs to create soulful, poetic visuals.
My work is influenced by poetry, yoga, music, and the resilience of the human spirit. For me, art is a meditative and spiritual journey, an exploration of colour, texture, and form that transcends borders and structure. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of exhibiting my work in many group exhibitions and engaging with diverse creative minds. I would be truly honoured to share my art through Artezaar and connect with its vibrant community of artists and collectors.
Artist Quote:
I believe every stroke serves a purpose—some warn, some motivate, some inspire—but most importantly, each one tells a story. Through these stories, we rediscover ourselves at every stage of life’s intricate journey.
