Eclectic Taste

Malavika Reddy

She had her first art show at 16—an exhibition of paintings in soft pastels with innovative framing, titled Eye Speak, and ever since, Malavika Reddy, 24, has been experiment­ing extensivel­y with form and medium. Pen and ink, water colours or coffee stain; she dabbles in all of these. “I’m inspired by poetry and music or my own musings,” says Reddy and the result is pictures depicting emotions through animals or Indian deities sketched in psychedeli­c style. Her skill of detailing is a takeoff from her father’s work, the nationally renowned artist, DLN Reddy, and it shows in everything, from her visual interpreta­tions of the chakras to digital art on T-shirts.
