ABOUT SELLER
A native of Bangalore, Vidya has worked for startups, and enjoyed corporate life at Wipro before turning to art, full-time. Her formal education has been in Engineering from RVCE and a Master’s degree in Marketing from Symbiosis. Her first public presentation as an artist was through a series of paintings, which were transcreations of temple architecture and monuments. She chose to celebrate the splendour of Hoysala sculptures by recreating them in paint. Her explorations in art continue strong. Discovering paper weaving by chance, Vidya has been upcycling the humble daily newspaper for personal, lifestyle and interior décor purposes. Her line of newspaper woven products is called aardra, which means new or fresh in Sanskrit. Surprised at first by their wicker-like quality and strength, customers have come back asking for more. Vidya plans to introduce aardra into everyday things, and effectively replace wooden and plastic in the future.
