Anchita is an embroidery and mixed media artist who works with paint, floss, fabric, beads, sequins, and metallic threads. Her practice began a little over a year ago, when embroidery became a way to cope during a personally difficult time and slowly grew into a full-fledged art practice. Today, her work moves between small formats like hoops and accessories, and larger pieces that explore texture, color, and surface in detail.
Her process is intuitive and hands-on. She visualizes a piece, plans with notes and color palettes, and then commits directly to fabric, allowing room for trial and error along the way. Painted skies, layered landscapes, and free-form embroidery are recurring elements in her work, reflecting her interest in breaking away from rigid rules. By combining multiple materials and techniques, she treats embroidery as a flexible, contemporary medium rather than a fixed tradition, creating pieces that are meant to be lived with, worn, and eventually find their own homes.
