Divya pursues ongoing training in the Indian Miniature painting technique from Master Artist Mahaveer Swami in Rajasthan, a proponent of the Bikaner School of painting. Divya is engaging with the tradition, crafting a unique visual language, and painting on themes that are personal yet universal, carefully referencing select imagery to convey meaning and symbolism through her work.

As a deep-sea diver, the circularity of unending underwater life offers her contemplation on personal and universal existential attempts to order the microcosm of our lives with the macrocosm of the universe’s life. Through her work, she endeavors to bring positivity, beauty and joy into this world.
