About the artist
Shweta Rane is a contemporary artist working in ink, watercolour, and acrylic. Her intuitive, nature-inspired practice explores renewal, flow, and human expression. Since 2020, she has dedicated herself to art full-time, following an earlier career in Marketing and Finance.
Her work has been shown in group exhibitions including Nakshatra at AIFACS Gallery, New Delhi; Bajaj Art Gallery; and Art Expo 2025, New York. She recently exhibited at Nehru Art Gallery and has an upcoming exhibition at Lokayata.
Her series Valay, Pravahi, and Chehre reflect a fascination with the cycles of nature and the emotions that shape us.
Through Storybycolours, she conducts workshops that help people of all ages discover confidence through art. She is the author of Lines Unleashed: A Doodle Journey for Every Age (2025) and also creates handcrafted origami jewellery under Paperbirds15.
My practice is intuitive. I begin without a fixed plan, letting ink, watercolour, and acrylic respond to instinct, allowing bold strokes and quiet spaces to find their balance.
Nature guides my visual language: the rings of a tree, the movement of water, the turning of seasons, weathered landscapes. These patterns echo the inner landscape of human emotion, and I explore both through line, texture, and colour.
My series grow from lived experience. Valay explores cycles of renewal and regeneration. Pravahi follows the continuous flow of life and emotion. Chehre turns towards the human face, where feeling surfaces and stories are held.
Rather than spectacle, I look for humble storytelling. Each work begins as a moment of observation and becomes an invitation to pause, reflect, and find one's own story within it.
