Exploring what it means to hold two worlds at once.

Purvi makes art from the space between cultures, memory and belonging. Her work is rooted in personal and collective lived moments - moments of joy, loss, transition, and quiet reflection.

Her latest work is grounded in heritage and the complexity of a diasporic identity. The textured foundation, henna patterns and mounted canvas all come together in cohesion as she weaves her stories in her paintings.

Purvi's artistic journey began in her childhood - she was nurtured by her parents, who were creatives by hobby. Their influence, combined with her love for colors, shaped her into the artist she is today. Despite pursuing degrees in Engineering and Management and a successful career on Wall Street, she realized in 2023 that her true calling was in the arts.
