Anoushka Mirchandani, Summer Sisters, 2024, Oil and Oil Pastel on Canvas.

Regardless of the scale of the paintings, my work is a study of  intimacy. The work is personal and autobiographical, and thus deeply vulnerable. I am always trying to invite you to inhabit an intimate space within my work.

You Carry Everyone Who Came Before You: An Interview with Anoushka Mirchandani

[shreyaajmani]

Anoushka Mirchandani: Between Worlds, Beneath Skin

Artist Anoushka Mirchandani arrived in the art world with a force, turning personal displacement into a visual language. Her oil pastels carve through the body—marking certain parts, leaving others bare—offering a quiet yet sharp commentary on the nuances of assimilation and identity as a South Asian woman. From Pune to San Francisco, New York, and Paros, her work is shaped by the disparate landscapes she’s inhabited. After her debut solo in New York with Yossi Milo Gallery, which concluded in early January, she is back in San Francisco, poised to present new work with Jonathan Carver Moore at FOG Design+Art 2025, where the next phase of her journey is quietly coming into focus.

Shreya Ajmani: Which city would you say has had the biggest impact on you?

Anoushka Mirchandani: Different cities hold me in different ways, and the amount of time spent in a city does not necessarily dictate the impact it has on me or on my practice. I spent some time last year in New York City, with all its vertical lines. I was able to experience its changing seasons as well as the life cycles of various flower and plant species. Seeing what’s blooming in flower beds and urban gardens, I felt the city’s constant exaltation of electric energy. I’m currently in San Francisco, where the depth of field lies beyond the Marin Headlands, and the scent of the ocean breeze catches you off guard, and oh, that California light! Pune, my childhood home, is the city of secrets and contradictions, and quiet architectural wonder. Western Samoa taught me to be brave and still finds its way into my dreams. Paros, the marble island in the Aegean Sea, was a place that reminded me that I’m an artist.
