Mixed Media Art

“My home was never rooted in geography”​

 

Hansika Mangwani is a mixed media artist currently based in Pune, India. Having moved from

Australia to India in early 2023, the constantly evolving and changing societal contrasts has

prompted her to express herself through the medium of art. 

 

Her abstractions are a personal manifestation of trying to reconcile her individual and her cultural layers.She uses materials such as earth and sand, representing a connection to memories and a grounding which keeps her in touch with her Eastern roots.

Juxtaposing those elements are structured geometries and bold colours, abstract

reflections of the more organized society she has recently bid farewell to, a kind of emotional

balancing of two distinct cultures she now incorporates into a single identity.

 

With a formal education in Installation Design, Hansika’s work often tends to have a sculptural quality to it. Hansika’s work has a dynamic quality to it, every element represents the solving of an ongoing puzzle to achieve harmony between continually shifting and challenging value

systems seeking to establish their place in a greater whole.
