The pandemic wasn’t easy, but it was good to know that I had a show to work towards because it was the kick I needed to hunker down and just work, work and work,” admits Goa-based artist and illustrator Osheen Siva. Kala Ghoda’s Method Art Gallery is currently home to 13 artworks by Siva that are a part of her first-ever solo exhibition, titled Inflorescence. Over the past few years, Siva has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, harbouring a style and vision that showcases strong themes of femininity, surrealism and cultural identity. Her ongoing show approaches these concepts too, while also bringing to the fore her Dalit-Tamilian heritage, that she proudly portrays throughout the collection.

Siva has also painted the walls of the art gallery
