About the Artist

Sareena studied at The International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Umbria, Santiniketan, and received her B.F.A from The School of the Arts Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited in group shows at Pragati Maidan in Delhi (2013), the Art Konsult in Delhi (2012), and the SAARC Art Show in Thimpu (2010). Originally from Kolkata and currently based in Mumbai, Khemka’s work represents the contemporary society but in a tongue-in-cheek manner, by drawing comparisons of the current capitalist kingdom with monarchic kingdoms of the medieval ages. Her paintings are a mockery on several advertisements that were released in Mumbai, eliciting hope of providing experiences of a world-class city.
