Biography

Priyanka Gupta Agarwal

Priyanka comes from Kolkata, India, also called the 'City of Joy' for its people and the

passion with which they lead their lives. This passion has undoubtedly found its way into her own

conception and expression of the colors of life through my art.

Priyanka is an artist and photographer and a graduate of San Francisco Art Institute. She has been exhibiting her works in San Francisco,

Silicon Valley and India since 2004. Some of her notable exhibits have been her solo exposition at the Academy of Fine Arts and Chitrakoot

art gallery in Kolkata and shows at Stanford university, Togonon Gallery, Market Street Gallery and the Triton Museum in California. She

has also been invited to participate in the Florence Biennale. She has received wide acclaim for her paintings and received reviews in the San

Francisco Chronicle, Time-out Singapore, Santa Clara weekly and Mountain View voice.

Her works are mainly abstracts in acrylic and photography had come naturally as an artistic extension to her. She is more of an elemental

photographer and believes in working with small elements that make up life as a whole.

Priyanka currently paints out of her studio in Bengaluru.
