Smita Kinkale, an artist deeply rooted in the lush landscapes of Tansa, crafts a vivid narrative through her unique art, transforming the very essence of plastic, a symbol of urban encroachment, into something mesmerizingly beautiful.

Growing up in a village where nature’s palette was a daily inspiration, Smita witnessed the shift towards plastic use, a change that deeply influenced her artistic journey. Moving to Mumbai to study painting, she found herself drawn to abstract art, mastering the art of color layering. This skill became a foundation for her groundbreaking work with plastic. Smita’s art is a dance of colors and forms, where plastic is not just a medium but a message, telling tales of change, adaptation, and the interplay between the natural and the urban. Her works are like vibrant sculptures, capturing the imagination with their intricate patterns and textures, reminiscent of childhood wonders and the complex beauty of nature. In her hands, plastic melts and molds into stunning visual stories, reflecting Smita’s journey from a rural upbringing to an urban existence, blending traditional painting techniques with innovative materials.
