Meena Pathak

I was born in a typical indian family where a child's fate as a doctor or engineer is glorified hence after my schooling i was made to persue my bachelor's in the field of computer science but i was never interested in studying and was always captivated by the art and craft around me.

Hence in the last year of my bachelors i decided to not let go of my dreams and convinced my family that i will attain full time formal education in the field of arts and therfore i joined Government college of Arts , Indore to persue my Bachleor of Fine Arts in the field of paintings.

I belong to a lower middle class indian family so in my childhood years we all stayed in a village in the kuttcha houses and the texture of the mortar made walls ,earth stove , abandoned places etc attracted me a lot and hence lot of my work depicts that. I want my audience to see the beauty of a deserted unrestrained place , usually perceived to be dirty and ugly, through my work as such places,even to a small extent, are still part of our lives and can be seen around
