Featuring Artist: Shilpi Dabral - Bridging Art, Emotion, and Spirituality

Art is more than just colors on a canvas—it is a reflection of emotions, experiences, and the world seen through an artist’s eyes. Shilpi Dabral, a Dubai-based Indian visual artist, embraces this philosophy, infusing her works with deep emotions, spirituality, and vibrant energy. With a lifelong passion for creative self-expression, Shilpi’s journey has been one of constant exploration, growth, and contribution to the global art community.

A Journey of Passion and Purpose

From an early age, Shilpi found joy in expressing herself through art. This passion evolved into a profound way of communicating emotions and perspectives, allowing viewers to see the beauty in both the grand and the mundane. Inspired by nature, her travels, and the mysteries of existence, she transforms these influences into compositions that challenge traditional perspectives.

Her chosen style—geometric abstraction—reflects her fascination with structure and harmony. By combining small geometric shapes and patterns with abstract elements, she creates intricate, layered works that invite viewers into a deeper visual and emotional experience. Using acrylics as her primary medium, she experiments with textures and mixed media, constantly pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
