For Priyanka Tayal, abstraction offers a space where emotion can exist without explanation. Her paintings emerge through an intuitive dialogue between colour, texture and gesture, creating layered compositions that explore the shifting boundaries between chaos and calm, vulnerability and resilience.Based in Mumbai, Tayal works primarily with acrylic on canvas, building richly textured surfaces through an instinctive process of layering and mark-making. While her inspiration often comes from the sea, the city and the natural world, these references are transformed into emotional landscapes rather than literal representations. Each painting becomes an exploration of feeling, allowing intuition to guide the work from one gesture to the next.Believing that every artwork takes on a life of its own, Tayal embraces the openness of abstraction, leaving space for individual interpretation. Her paintings invite viewers to slow down, connect with their own emotions, and discover meaning through the interplay of colour, texture and movement.
