Mithra focuses on the Indian oil lamp in her landscape. The lighting of an oil lamp symbolises prosperity and celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. The artist creates a landscape inspired by the colours used in Kolam making and the Enney Vilakku with the hope of bringing colour back to life during these dreary times.
Mithra (b.1994) is a visual artist whose practice is strongly influenced by what the amygdala stands for. She creates fictional landscapes that are intimately bound up to represent the interior of her mind. Having graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours), she has participated in the Facebook Artist in Residence program (AIR) and has had her works shown in various group exhibitions.
