In the Surface Exhibition at Nxera Art Gallery, Canadian artist Navida Bhatnagar presents a body of work where the canvas becomes a site of "wholeness" and meditative landing. With a background that spans nearly two decades in the dental sciences and a deep dedication to Yoga and Meditation, Navida brings a unique, disciplined precision to her expressive abstract approach. Her paintings are defined by layered color palettes and organic forms that mirror the fluid, often unpredictable nature of life itself.
For Navida, the "surface" is not a static plane but a recording of a state of flow. Drawing inspiration from the abundant nature of British Columbia, motherhood and her personal travels, she treats each stroke as a decision informed by the one before—an artistic philosophy that parallels the way we paint our own life stories. Her contribution to Surface is an invitation to connect with the profound beauty of human experience through a lens of wonder and creative evolution.
