Hello

I am Nikkie (Monisha Tripathy), the artist behind Turtle That Paints.

I'm a figurative expressive artist based out of India.

I've been painting since forever. As a child, I spent hours honing my skills in various art forms.

Art is more than just a form of creative expression for me — it's a way of life. I believe that by embracing my authentic self and staying true to passion, I can help others do the same.

About the paintings

My art is a celebration of the multifaceted female experience. I delve into the complexities of womanhood, capturing the strength, vulnerability, and resilience that define it. Through acrylic medium, I challenge stereotypes, inspire self-reflection, and invite viewers to appreciate the diverse narratives of women. My work is an ongoing evolution, reflecting the limitless potential of female empowerment and artistic expression. I hope it resonates with the essence of womanhood, empowering others to join in this exploration.
