New Delhi : When other school students were making their plans for further studies, a girl from Chandigarh was painting her future on a blank canvas. It is believed that creativity can be expressed only when the mind is free from all worries but the unique art of Rashi came into the fore when her mind was troubled and heart was filled by pain. She had to witness a great tragedy in her home. But this tragedy changed her from an ordinary child to a great international artist.
In the year of 1989, Rashi’s father had a major accident and he was lying in bed for a long time. Her mother and brother would take care of him in the hospital and she would take care of her younger sister at home. At that time she started doodling to relieve her stress. Doodling helped her to reduce her stress to a great extent. She liked it too, and gradually Rashi started enjoying this artwork. At just ten years old, she had a strong artistic vision.
Despite going through tragedy, today Rashi is recognized as an international award-winning visual artist, designer, and sculptor. And this recognition is not made in a single day, behind it is years of hard work included. She is a gold medalist at a country level and her artwork has featured in various national and international art galleries. Her work remains selected and gets recognized in many global art platforms, including Dubai World Trade Art Center, Africa, Australia, South Korea, and Barcelona. At the latest she received a silver award in the visual arts category by La Dolce Vita Global Art Festival 2020, held in Spain and Google e-books 2020 of her artworks. On this journey, she was appreciated by the California-based Art N Break organization.
Rashi was born and raised in Chandigarh but got married in Delhi, now she is settled with her family in Vadodara, Gujarat. She is associated with many NGOs and charitable trusts, those who are doing work actively for the betterment of society. She promotes art awareness among kids and women as well under ‘Paliwal Arts’. Rashi says “For me, art is a path of adventure which never ends. I always sit myself along with my excitement, strong emotions, thoughts, imaginations, observations, feelings on the ride of my creativity.”
A professional artist in her love for surreal art and fascinated by the mind and universe, she always likes to accept challenges and experiment with anything magical to keep her viewer engaged as being in celebration. Aesthetic expressions of her art, themselves create a forever impression in her mind.
