Works by Rajul Shah
Rajul moved to Japan in 2012 after retiring from her first career in healthcare. She trained extensively across Oil, Sumi-E/Nihonga, and Acrylic for 7 years between the Tokyo Campus of Temple’s Tyler School of Art and Professional/Studio workshops. She now lives between the US and Singapore with her family. Her works have been shown in national and international juried shows, including XIII Florence Biennale, the ION Orchard Gallery in Singapore, the Ueno No Mori Art Museum (Royal Art Museum) in Japan, the National Art Gallery in Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno, the Intercontinental Hotel In Osaka and the ANA Crowne Plaza hotel in Kobe.
An international artist whose work is inspired by the desire to communicate calm and spiritual peace, Rajul's work draws from a previous career in healthcare where she witnessed strong connections between emotional and physical well-being; and believes in the importance of sharing positive energy. She is inspired by Japanese and Indian philosophy. The Japanese Art of Kintsugi inspires the translation of Rajul's artwork to address aspects of the human condition and its ability to recover from illness, injury and/or trauma; including the impact of humans on the environment.
