About the Artist:
Richa Shukla is an Abstract Realism artist known for her soul-touching and transformative works that blend reality and imagination. Born and raised in the diamond capital of India, Richa’s passion for art blossomed at a young age. She spent her childhood sketching with her father on sandy beaches, doodling on her denim, and filling the back of her school books with sketches. Her love for art led her to pursue formal studies in commercial arts, culminating in two successful exhibitions in her home country within a year.
In 2006, Richa moved to Canada with her husband, where she devoted herself to raising her children. For nearly 15 years, her artistic aspirations took a backseat as she embraced the role of a mother. However, a fateful encounter with a mentor on social media rekindled her creative spirit. Completed her master program with Milan Art Institute. Over the past four years, Richa has reemerged as a passionate artist, creating compelling artworks and commissions that resonate with collectors around the world.
Her art reflects her personal journey of resilience, balance, and rediscovery, capturing the raw energy of life while inviting viewers to reconnect with their instincts, spirituality, and the natural world. Through her work, she celebrates the universal connection that binds all living things, inspiring introspection and a deeper sense of purpose.
With each new creation, Richa strives to touch the hearts of her audience, offering a window into profound truths and a higher sense of creativity. Her upcoming releases continue to embody this vision, marking another milestone in her evolving artistic journey.
