Having come from a psychology and people insights background, Shibani has deep roots spanning decades in understanding people and their inner worlds. She has always been curious about their Why’s, their conflicts, their joys and fears, their raison d’être.

So it is only natural that she examines and explores these inner worlds visually across her abstract pieces.

While it easy to exactly visualising a tangible object, like a rose or a table, it’s not as easy to visualise ‘an emotional space’: something like, the unconscious growing distances within a well-worn relationship, the irony of life’s bittersweet symphony, people’s eternal quest for hope, or even the vulnerabilities of an artist’s overly sensitive heart.

Emotions are felt and experienced, rather than visually understood. With Inner Worlds it has been Shibani’s endeavour to paint feelings and visualize emotional landscapes. Ultimately, this series is Shibani’s ode to our chaotic, complex and magnificent inner worlds.
