Nanda Khiara

Let me introduce myself.

I am a multi-dimensional artist, who lives and works in London. Originally from Kuwait, I was educated in the UK and then lived in Hong Kong and India before returning to London. I frequently express myself in oversized canvases, which are imbued with my ingrained and intuitive understanding of change and evolution, themes that drew me to a study of Da Vinci’s seminal works and philosophy on urban cities.
‍
My paintings are poetic, vivid, profound and complex, lyrical and romantic, and even dark and mystifying - depicting a deep sense of myself. Just when you label my genre and style, I surprise you with yet another form. Bold, uninhibited, and expressive, I have maintained a unifying thread through my diverse oeuvre, with an aura of mysticism and ever-evolving concepts.
‍
Akin to generous and vibrant colors, I conjure bold compositions with subtle style and meaning. I create unique mediums to narrate poignant stories that accentuate my storytelling. My artworks are a representation of my living experiences in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. My work has been exhibited in London, Florence, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Amsterdam, Dubai, and New York and has also been featured in contemporary art literature. Most significantly, I was selected for both the Florence Biennale 2019, and the London Art Biennale 2021. I enjoy writing periodic columns in the media about painting and methodology.
‍
When not in my studio, I am a mother to two very talented teenage girls and they have a home filled with art and music. My works have been featured in three coffee table books. My passion is the “art of Giving” as well and I have worked with. Various charities supporting projects. For mental health, girl child, and more. In the digital NFT market space, I am focusing on working with Generation Z and the neurodivergent community. I am aiming to create a bespoke program to raise funds at the end of 2022.
