MADHAVI MENON
Madhavi Itti Menon, known by her artist alias Mitti Menon, is a
multidisciplinary creative whose work bridges the realms of visual art, brand
design, and strategy. Medium-agnostic in her art practice, she has cultivated
a diverse body of work over the years, including oil on board, ink on paper,
mixed media, and découpage.
A graduate of the School of Visual Arts, New York, with a Master’s in Branding,
and influenced by the interdisciplinary ethos of NID, Ahmedabad, Madhavi’s
practice merges analytical rigor with artistic intuition. Her work is fueled by a
fascination with subtle narratives that define human experience, blending
precision with poetic subversion.
Her art employs small units—rhinestones, bindis, and pixels—to construct
intricate compositions that explore symbolism, identity, and visual culture
across India. Her process, rooted in drawing and detail-oriented composition,
fuels a cathartic flow state, where deliberate fabrication leads to storytelling.
Madhavi’s series often draw on her fascination with identity, belief, and the
interplay between myth and material. Whether reordering the English
alphabet to challenge legacy systems or mining the language of hip-hop
through pixel art, her projects embody a spirit of curiosity and cultural
inquiry.
She has participated in art camps in Sikkim and Delhi and her projects have
been recognized internationally, with features in PRINT Magazine and
UnderConsideration.

artists exploring metaphors in mundane subjects, through unconventional
materials as art forms. She studied Sculpture (BFA) from MSU Baroda and has
exhibited her works both, nationally and internationally.
She navigates her works through personification of objects, patterns, aged and
abandoned materials amongst various other media. Her works explore a sense of
belonging, treating each subject as an underpinned metaphor, evoking a sense of
presence, a memory.
Her current exhibited works are from the series “Unbecoming” conceptualised
during the pandemic.
SHAMBHAVI GAIROLA
Shambhavi lives and works between Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Her practice spans across mediums and stems from observations from her immediate surroundings as well as nuanced studies of perception and the gaze— recorded
at the intersection of paintings, sketches, photographs and short films.
She also works with art administration and exhibition-making. Her work entails graphic, publication design, exhibition design, documentation and production and hopes to expand to accommodate experiments with sounds, filmmaking and anthropology.
STUTI JAIN
Stuti Jain is a Delhi NCR-based artist whose work reflects a deep connection to her experiences and surroundings. She holds a Master’s in Sculpture from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, where she received the Art Excellence Award as the top graduate in her BFA. During her studies at Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, on a merit fellowship, Stuti immersed herself in Europe’s rich artistic heritage, with visits to the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay shaping her understanding of classical and modern art.
Her artistic practice is rooted in the physicality of making, working with materials such as brass, bronze, fiberglass, ceramic, and installation. Stuti explores themes of loss and gain of identity, transformation, and the tension between permanence and impermanence. Early training in Odissi dance and Hindustani Classical music, in which she earned a Prabhakar, informs the
fluidity and rhythm of her work. Her ceramic figurative sculptures express a profound narrative of culture, drawing from Sringar rasa and delicate elements like the gajra, often functioning as objects of catharsis.
SHAHNAWAZ SIDDIQUI
I am a self taught artist and photographer from Ahmedabad; now based in Bombay.
Having no familial or academic background in the arts never bothered me and I have been
working mainly on intuition.
The photography bug hit me in 2012 and there was no looking back after that. The streets
are my muse as they always have something new to offer.
My experiments with paper started in 2016. Eventually these experiments started taking the
shape of collages. My collages are primarily made out of newspapers, magazines and any
kind of paper that catches my fancy.
In addition to that, sketching is one more medium that I use for self-expression.
I have also worked in the fields of customer service, operations, sales, administration and
management - spread across the sectors of banking and architecture and design.
Currently, I work as a freelancer in the media and conference industry.
My work depicts themes of self discovery, chaos, epiphany, sensuality and unraveling.
