Priya Vadhyar was born in India in 1980. She is a painter and a printmaker. Her work centers on the ideas of presence, contradiction and unity.

Working without a subject matter or a specific outcome in mind allows for the particular and the universal to meet at the intersection of knowing and not-knowing, thinking and non-thinking. The interplay of spontaneity and restraint, the discovery of unexpected visions, contradictions and many horizons create an insight of a unity amidst the illusion of boundaries and multiplicity.
