Sakshi Kumar Lund (b. Karachi) creates paintings and embroidered tapestries that reimagine the South Asian miniature tradition through a contemporary lens. Her work, significantly influenced by her experience of solitude living alone in London as a student, creates portals where the celestial meets the tangible, and reality blends seamlessly with fantasy.

In her compositions, objects assume symbolic significance. Chairs occupy a central role in her oeuvre, their overt emptiness evoking a poignant sense of solitude. Ants emerge as recurring motifs, portrayed as tiny weightlifters bearing the burden of societal expectations and personal aspirations across dark, foreboding backgrounds. 

Sakshi's distinctive technique involves a deliberate interplay between meticulously rendered details and intentionally obscured elements, reflecting the elusive nature of her dreamlike imagery. These compositions explore the nuanced dichotomies of presence and absence, companionship and solitude.

Initially trained at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Sakshi is currently completing her MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts.
