Mamta lives and works in Varanasi and San Francisco. She has designed
residences, art galleries, art residencies, and boutiques, and has
undertaken numerous interior and landscape design projects. Dividing time
between the oldest living city and some of the youngest modern cities has
shaped her unique perception and sense of history and culture. Simplicity,
harmony and integration with nature, and relevance to our cultural identity
and heritage are the trademarks of her work. Her concern for protecting the
environment and retaining our rich cultural identity finds expression in her
artistic voice, communicating a compelling story effectively.
An artist’s soul trapped in an architect’s body, Mamta finds freedom by
surrendering to the creative flow of art. She enjoys exploring the interplay
of line, colour, form and texture through urban landscapes, figurative and
abstract studies, and playing with oil paint, acrylic and mixed media. She
has juxtaposed Sanskrit shlokas that are rooted in the city that she paints,
with the architectural idiom to create a new visual vocabulary. Her true
inspiration is drawn from Varanasi, a conglomeration of texture and colour.
She masterfully intertwines colour and design to illuminate the spirit and
culture of Benaras. The contrast of Varanasi’s urban fabric, rich culture,
and timeless way of life rooted in nature, has inspired her to paint
cityscapes highlighting the ephemeral beauty and fragility of Varanasi while
evoking the intense vitality of an ancient and vibrant lifestyle.
