Sandhya Kaushik — Palette Knife Impressionist

MFA — Lalit Kala Sansthan, Agra

Sandhya holds an MFA from the prestigious Lalit Kala Sansthan in Agra and has built a body of work that captures India's most evocative landscapes and landmarks in thick palette knife impasto. Her Varanasi Ghats at sunset, Golden Temple series, and South Indian temple paintings are collected independently and through SIA Art Studio. Each painting is built not painted — layered strokes that cast their own shadows and change character as light shifts across the day.

“The palette knife does not blend — it decides. Every stroke is final. That kind of commitment is what gives a surface its life.”
