About

 

Ajita Roy is a contemporary painter based in Espoo, Finland. Born in 1982, she spent her formative years in Chhattisgarh, India. Her art embodies the colors and themes of the Indian hinterland. She brings a contemporary perspective rooted in historical art, mythology, and folklore, layered with influences from Indian and Japanese figurative art.

Ajita studied fine arts at IKSV, a traditional arts university in Khairagarh, Chhattisgarh, where she specialized in Printmaking. She later completed a Master’s in Computer Games Art at Teesside University in the UK, focusing on Environment Art. Working in different mediums has helped her develop a style marked by asymmetry, bold colors, and symbolic shapes.

Ajita’s paintings bring together the vibrant energy of India and the calm of Finland. Her work does not fit into a single category but tells honest, relatable stories. She carefully mixes her past and present, inviting viewers to find meaning in change and to appreciate beauty in imperfection.
