Between Worlds, On Canvas: The Art of a Hybrid Soul
Born in 1976 in Mumbai, India, Radhika Nathwani bridges the vibrancy of Indian aesthetics with the graphic clarity of global design. After completing a Bachelor of Applied Arts at Sophia Polytechnic in Mumbai, she pursued advanced studies in Graphic Design at Columbia College, Chicago. Her early career in advertising shaped her precise visual communication style, which she later subverted in her transition to fine arts.

Relocating to Vienna in 2006 marked a turning point—her passion for painting flourished into a full-fledged practice. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she fuses classical techniques with contemporary symbols, reflections, and surreal motifs. Her work speaks a cosmopolitan and international language, shaped by her hybrid cultural experience.

Straddling the realms of fine art and design, her work articulates a singular visual language—one that centres on the human form, visceral emotion, and the evocative terrain of the dream world. With over 50 paintings sold across more than 10 galleries in India and Europe, the artist’s practice has garnered a steadily growing collector base and international attention.
