ARTIST SHRUTI GOYAL

My name is Shruti Goyal, I was born in Delhi in 1990. I have been drawing things from my day to day life and painting them from early childhood. I have also been a part of many inter school competitions of painting and have been rewarded for the same.

I did my B.Sc. Statistics (H) from Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University. After working as an analyst for a few months, I made the decision to pursue my creative interests because I have always enjoyed and been good at art.

I pursued my formal art education in 2017 when I did my MA in Drawing and painting from Raja Mansingh Tomar University, Gwalior. I believe that being an artist is something that one is born to do and not learned at school. I went on to study through practical experience, learning through trial and error and self learning studying the works of masters as my teachers.

I have worked in Artists Studio, Garhi, Lalit Kala Akademi, Delhi as a painter for a few years. Currently I work in my own studio in 12, AGCR Enclave, New Delhi. Having my own studio gives me more privacy and freedom to paint bigger size canvases. I work primarily in oil and acrylic on canvas and I currently work from Delhi.

My artworks have been exhibited in exhibitions in both India and abroad, including ‘Yatra Naryastu’ by NGMA in collaboration with ICCR at NGMA, Delhi,  ‘Kala Kumbh’ by the Ministry of Culture, India in 2021 and ‘Entropy’ by The Holy Art Gallery, London in 2023. One of my paintings was selected for the 62nd National Exhibition of Art 2020-21 in 2022.

Recently I have received an artistic Achievement award by the Luxembourg Art Prize in 2021 and Special award for four paintings by the Mellow Art Award, Japan in 2022.
