ABOUT THE ARTIST

NIRVANI HARRIRAM IS AN AMERICAN ARTIST FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK. NIRVANI USES WATER-BASED MIXED MEDIA TO CREATE MODERN GEOMETRIC PAINTINGS THAT FOCUS ON TEXTURE, COLOR, SHAPE, AND SPACE. IN HER ART PRACTICE, SHE ENJOYS SLOWING DOWN AND RECONNECTING WITH HERSELF DURING THE PAINTING PROCESS, TAKING 5-7 DAYS TO COMPLETE EACH LAYERED PIECE. NIRVANI BRIDGES TOGETHER ORGANIC TEXTURE AND GEOMETRIC DESIGNS TO CREATE ART THAT IS NATURAL, HAPPY, AND RELAXING, USING SIMPLE COMPOSITIONS THAT ARE UNDEMANDING ON THE EYES.

THE ARTIST HOPES THAT HER PAINTINGS WILL HELP OTHERS TO INCREASE THEIR MINDFULNESS AND APPRECIATE THE MOMENT. HER WORK IS INSPIRED BY A LIFELONG LOVE OF TEXTILES FROM RURAL COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING THE CULTURAL MOSAIC OF HER PARENTS' INDO-CARIBBEAN BACKGROUND. SHE ALSO FINDS LUSH INSPIRATION IN NATURE, ESPECIALLY THE COASTAL AND LAID-BACK ENVIRONMENTS OF HER UPBRINGING.
