The Collective
Akshay Jadhav is a Pune-based painter and mixed media artist whose practice draws on the visual language of the city — its layered surfaces, its erasures, its accidental beauty. Working in oil, acrylic, and collage on canvas and board, he builds densely textured surfaces that hold the memory of multiple gestures. His work sits at the intersection of abstraction and material investigation.
Ananya Krishnamurthy is a Mumbai-based abstract painter who works primarily in oil on canvas. With over twelve years of professional practice, she has developed a signature style characterised by bold gestural marks and a deeply personal relationship with colour.
Arjun Sharma paints the spiritual landscape of Varanasi — its ghats, its rituals, its contradictions. Working primarily in acrylic, he combines the immediacy of street observation with the formal rigour of classical Indian painting. His works are held in private collections across fifteen countries.
Deepa Raghavan is a Chennai-based figurative painter working in watercolour and egg tempera. Her practice draws on the visual traditions of South India to create contemporary figurative works of extraordinary precision and luminosity.
Kabir Malhotra is a Delhi-based landscape painter whose practice is rooted in the plains of Northern India. Working primarily in acrylic on large-format linen, he captures the changing light of the subcontinent across seasons.
Meera Pillai's mixed-media practice weaves together hand-dyed fabric, pigment and found materials to produce canvases of extraordinary texture. Based in Chennai, she draws on the textile heritage of South India to question boundaries between craft, design and fine art. Her work has been featured in Vogue India and Elle Décor.
Priya Nair works across watercolour and gouache to create figurative paintings that hover between portraiture and myth. Rooted in Kerala's visual traditions, her practice reimagines classical forms through a contemporary feminist lens. Her work has been acquired by collectors in Europe and Southeast Asia.
Rahul Das grew up along the banks of the Hooghly River in Kolkata, and the landscapes of Bengal permeate every work he makes. His paintings move between sweeping panoramas and intimate detail, always returning to the idea of memory embedded in place. He holds an MFA from Santiniketan.
Sunita Mehta is a Mumbai-based abstract painter whose work explores the tension between silence and chaos. Trained at Sir J.J. School of Art, her canvases are known for their rich layering of oil paint and an almost meditative use of colour. She has exhibited across India, the UK and the UAE.
Vikram Rao is a conceptual painter based in Delhi whose large-scale works interrogate geometry, material, and the built environment. Influenced by the Bauhaus and minimalist traditions, his canvases are precisely composed yet invite a deeply personal reading. He has shown internationally at galleries in London, Berlin and New York.
RASA Collective works with a select group of painters. If you create original work and are interested in selling through our platform, we'd love to hear from you.
