Julia Usmanova is a Russian artist whose practice explores memory, identity, and belonging through figurative painting. Through figurative imagery, layered compositions, and symbolic storytelling, the works examine home not as a fixed geography but as an emotional state carried across borders, her paintings invite reflection on belonging, adaptation, and cultural exchange, creating a dialogue between personal memory and shared human experience. This exhibition presents the works of the artist whose paintings emerge from her personal journey between Russia and India. Her artistic practice is informed by everyday encounters, human relationships, and remembered landscapes. Curated by Neena Gulati, the exhibition aims to open conversations around diaspora experiences and how art can become a bridge between distant worlds.

Kaisang Padma is a contemporary painter whose work draws inspiration from the landscapes and cultural atmosphere of Ladakh, her paintings often explore solitary figures and quiet architectural spaces that evoke themes of silence, watchfulness, and spiritual presence within Himalayan environment. Drawing from the cultural tradition and spiritual symbolism, the works draw from the landscapes of Ladakh, wherein the high- altitude terrains exist in a state of profound silence and vast openness, her practice explores the relationship between landscape, memory, and inner reflection. Suggesting a quiet dialogue between the natural world and the human imagination, the paintings present different forms of witnessing- figures, animals and landscapes that stand quietly at the threshold between human presence and vast continuity of the mountains.
