Ajita Roy is a contemporary Indian artist living and working in Finland. Her figurative paintings blend vivid memories of her Indian roots with the serene influence of Nordic life, creating dreamlike portraits that explore culture, identity, and personal transformation.

Born in Chhattisgarh in 1982, Ajita draws inspiration from Indian folk traditions, rural storytelling, and the colorful imagery of Bollywood cinema. Her work reflects a deep connection to these cultural motifs while reinterpreting them through the lens of her present experience abroad.

Originally trained in printmaking, Ajita spent years in digital media and visual storytelling before returning to painting. This multidisciplinary background shapes her distinctive style, featuring bold colors, asymmetrical compositions, and symbolic imagery.

Her art is also deeply personal—living with a connective tissue disorder has influenced her process, leading to smaller, more intimate works marked by expressive brushstrokes and a quiet vulnerability. Through her paintings, Ajita invites viewers into a contemplative space where themes of endurance, change, and the complexity of human experience unfold.
