Shivangi Kalra (born 1998, Delhi) lives and works between Amsterdam and India. Her painting practice draws on memory and close observation, unfolding through intimate scenes of domestic life, social gatherings, and fleeting encounters. Moving between the familiar and the subtly staged, her works explore how spaces shape emotions and social behavior, revealing what lingers beneath everyday surfaces. Informed by Delhi’s rapidly transforming social and architectural landscape, Kalra works through fragments rather than fixed narratives, weaving together tenderness, humour, nostalgia, and quiet unease into a nuanced theatre of daily life. Kalra was awarded the Royal Award for Modern Painting in the Netherlands in 2024 and received the Galleria Doris Ghetta Prize in the same year. Her work has been exhibited internationally in institutions and galleries including the Royal Palace in Amsterdam (Koninklijk Prijs Exhibition, 2024), Groninger Museum (How Van Gogh Came to Groningen, 2024), Chabot Museum in Rotterdam (2025), No Man’s Art Gallery in Amsterdam (2025), and Drents Museum in Assen (forthcoming, 2026). Recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include Write My Poem Across the Sky at Galleria Doris Ghetta, Ortisei (2024), There Is No Going Back at No Man’s Art Gallery, Amsterdam (2025).
