Rekha Rao

This acrylic on paper artwork by Rekha Rao flows with a visual rhythm of swirling blues, earthy tones, and abstract linear forms evoking waves and motion. Layered textures suggest emotional turbulence beneath a calm surface, revealing hidden narratives on repeated viewings. Rekha Rao, born in Mumbai in 1947 and trained under her father K.K. Hebbar, brings depth and symbolism to her work. Her paintings are rooted in memory and experience, balancing recognisable forms with abstraction. A celebrated artist, Rekha has exhibited widely and continues to create evocative visual stories from her studios in Bengaluru and Mumbai.
