Celebrating Women and Nature through Art
Date: 25th to 30th April 2025
Time: 11am to 7pm
Venue: Kalamkaar Gallery, Bikaner House, New Delhi
Ritika Aurora, an accomplished artist and mentor at the Milan Art Institute USA, is redefining the artistic landscape with evocative works that celebrate the transformative power of women and nature. She will be showcasing her debut solo exhibition ‘A Force of Nature’ from 25th to 30th April at Kalamkaar Gallery, Bikaner House. Curated by Georgina Maddox, the exhibition harmoniously blends figurative and semi-abstract styles, radiating hope, positivity, and feminine energy. The works inspire viewers to embrace their inner strength and authenticity.
Ritika’s artistic journey reflects resilience and self-discovery. Transitioning from homemaker to a full-fledged artist, she has created a body of work that deeply resonates with audiences. Her palette—pinks, golds, off-whites, and browns—exudes femininity, while her motifs of winged women, blooming flowers, butterflies, and golden mists symbolize growth, evolution, and the nurturing energy of nature.
Reflecting on her work, Ritika Aurora shares, “Through my paintings, I explore themes of independence, self-actualization, and authenticity. My art serves as a voice that speaks to the transformative power of embracing one’s true self.”
Curator Georgina Maddox notes, “Ritika’s creative process is both intuitive and experimental, beginning with free-flowing inks and textures—paisley prints, lace, and henna patterns. She incorporates gold leaf as a symbol of prosperity and positivity, crafting vibrant, textured compositions across various mediums. Recent works, like the delicate paper boat floating on turbulent waters, further explore the themes of hope and resilience, reminding viewers of their connection to the universe and their ability to overcome challenges.”
Ritika’s work underscores the value of protecting the forces of nature and femininity, which sustain life and inspire growth. Her art encourages viewers to embrace these strengths and approach their journeys with courage and conviction.
