Chaya Mallavaram is a modern impressionist and abstract painter based in the suburbs of Boston, USA. Inspired by the works of Monet, Van Gogh and the colors from India where she grew up, Chaya combines vibrant colors and bold textures in her paintings that lets viewers escape into places that are magical and uplifting. When painting, Chaya lets her emotions and intuition guide her through the process that takes her into a calming place. “I love that happy place and that’s where the magic happens”. Chaya uses pallet knives, brushes and other objects she feels fit while painting. “It’s exciting to explore new ways to paint. Art is a journey for me and I can’t wait to see where it takes me!”
