Raja Oshi views creating art as a transformative journey, an adventure, meditation, and a series of challenges. Oshi reveals that the world speaks to her in pictures and scenes, revealing the hidden lives and secrets of people. Oshi states, “I feel compelled to express what I witness, whether through figurative representation or vibrant abstract work.”.
Her paintings aim to capture the internal experiences of her subjects — the interplay of mind and spirit, a serene elegance radiating peace — through the figure, colors, textures, and composition. Oshi shares, “In my abstract and figurative depictions of women’s stories, I speak through body language, using forms without facial features to convey the almost musical lines of a woman’s shape. The themes of emancipation and liberation are at the heart of my work.”.
