Born in 1960 in New Delhi, Seema Kohli is an artist with an eclectic repertoire. Her art, a unique expression of her largely figurative style, encompasses a wide range of mediums including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, performance and experiential installation. Her works are parables of tales both imagined and real, celebrating the simultaneous fragility and tenacity of Creation, as well as the melody and exuberance of the Oneness of Being. Myth and fable apart, they are many layered explorations, rooted as much in philosophy as they are in the knowledge of our modern times.

She has been the recipient of a Gold Medal at the Florence Biennale in 2009, the Lalit Kala Academi Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in 2008 and the Young FICCI Ladies Organisation Women Achiever’s Award in the same year.
