Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ashwini Amberkar, a Bengaluru-born multidisciplinary visual artist and artworker currently pursuing a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth. I work across traditional media (oil, watercolor, acrylics, graphite) and digital platforms (Procreate, Canva, book layouts) to explore memory, place and identity through paintings, drawings, and large-scale installations.
I have curated and contributed to group exhibitions, designed promotional materials, and collaborated with NGOs and independent authors. My practice blends making, installation and archival thinking, and I enjoy bringing thoughtful concepts to life in gallery and community settings. I’m based between Bengaluru and Bournemouth, open to collaborative projects and commissions.
