Chandra, Gaya

Gaya Chandrasekaran is a London-based contemporary artist. She was born in the southern Indian city of Chennai on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, a vibrant city where centuries-old traditions live in delightful harmony with rapid modernization. She grew up surrounded by bright and jubilant sounds and colors that have consistently inspired her creative pursuits. She loves learning new techniques and trained in India as well as in the UK at Slade School of Art.

Her artworks are based on the themes of Quest, Soliloquy, Rebirth and Nirvana, which reflect key life moments and are an expression of her thoughts, emotions and experiences.

Gaya has exhibited widely in London including at the London Business School and Santander Corporate & Investment Banking, with publication in the Artist Talk Magazine, UK.
