PURVI SHAH, VISUAL ARTIST AND WRITER

Purvi Shah is a Dallas-based artist known for her textural works as she weaves the tales of anti-fragility and audacity into her paintings.

Purvi draws inspiration from the beauty in nature, embracing its intricate details and vibrant colors. Her artistic process involves the meticulous application of multiple layers, each contributing to the depth and texture of the piece. This layering technique not only creates a rich visual experience but also allows her to explore the emotional resonance of color.

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.

Purvi’s paintings are not just visual experiences but transformative journeys. Through her mixed-media approach, she invites viewers to navigate their own path to self-discovery, urging them to reflect on their inner struggles and triumphs. The layers in her work symbolize the complexities of life, encouraging introspection as one examines how they see themselves mirrored in the colors and forms. By engaging with her art, viewers may find inspiration to embrace their own narratives of strength and vulnerability, fostering a deeper connection to both the artwork and themselves.

WORDS FROM THE ARTIST

I want my art to encourage people to stay true to themselves—to be free to discover who they are by exploring the world within and seeking the transformative journey of self-discovery. Through my paintings, I strive to depict the romance in introspection and trusting in the power that resides within us to be able to live a life true to oneself. I hope everyone celebrates their unique journey, accepts their flaws, and recognizes the beauty in scars.

The journey starts with you!!
