Shruti Goyal

Shruti Goyal is a contemporary abstract artist based in New Delhi. Her practice explores colour, light, memory and the emotional experience of place.

Working primarily with acrylic and oil, she creates layered abstract compositions through transparency, texture and gesture. Her paintings move between stillness and movement, creating spaces that invite contemplation rather than offering a fixed representation.

The Practice

Colour is central to the work—not simply as a visual element, but as a language through which memory, atmosphere and emotion are explored.

Artist Statement

My work is rooted in the idea that color and light carry memory, silence, and emotion. I build surfaces through layers—sometimes dense and textured, sometimes sheer and translucent—allowing each painting to hold both movement and stillness. The process is meditative, balancing control with freedom, structure with openness.

I am drawn to the spaces in between—moments of transition, where light shifts or emotions blur into one another. These are not landscapes of the outside world, but inner landscapes, where time slows and contemplation begins. My aim is not to represent, but to create atmospheres that allow viewers to experience their own connections with memory, quiet, and depth.
