Sugandha Rao

Statement

Sugandha Rao (b. 1998, New Delhi) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice draws from personal experience, cultural nuance, and socio-political inquiry.

Sugandha holds an MFA from Kala Bhavana, Santiniketan, and a BFA from the College of Art, New Delhi. Raised in a progressive, cross-cultural household, she developed an early feminist consciousness that continues to shape her creative outlook. Her work navigates themes of gender, identity, and societal structures and landscape, often beginning the process with sketching. She predominantly works with printmaking, painting, and textile-based techniques. Her work seeks to create a bridge between art, craft, design, and community.
