Ajita Roy is a figurative artist and painter from India. She mainly works with oils and acrylics, creating dreamlike, emotionally rich, layered portraits that blend the lively textures of her Indian roots with the calm of Nordic life. Born in 1982, she grew up in Chhattisgarh, India, and her art reflects the colors and themes of the Indian hinterlands. Her style combines a modern outlook with inspiration from historical art, folklore, and Bollywood.

Ajita studied fine arts at Indira Kala Vishwavidyalay, a traditional arts university in Khairagarh, Chhattisgarh, where she specialized in Printmaking. She later earned a Master's degree in Environmental Art from Teesside University in the United Kingdom. Her background across mediums has shaped a visual language defined by asymmetry, bold colors, and symbolic shapes.

Her practice is also deeply formed by lived experience. Persistent health issues and a connective tissue disorder have gradually transformed how she works—introducing smaller formats, urgent brushstrokes, and self-referential figures marked by distortion and quiet vulnerability. What emerges is not just adaptation, but expression: of endurance and introspection.

Ajita’s paintings live at the intersection of two worlds—the saturated intensity of India and the healing calm of Finland. Her work defies easy categorization, offering instead a form of visual storytelling that is soulful, grounded, and deeply human.
