Pratisha Rodrigues is an artist based in Goa, India, who creates small scale works on paper using mixed media such as acrylic markers, watercolour, and colour pencils. Her artwork draws from her own Goan culture and explores themes of identity, tradition and home. In the ‘Flower Series’ she depicts Indian women dressed in traditional attire (saree) and shows the beauty of the patterns and colours in them. The flowers in each piece are native to her hometown in Goa. In the first piece ‘Mogra’, a woman wraps her bun in a fresh garland of flowers. This is usually worn by women during festive occasions, weddings and even going to the temple. Pratisha has a bachelors degree in Art History from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London and although a beginner has already gained popularity for her vibrant prints of Indian culture.
