Priyanka is known for her contemporary work which represents a lot of flora and fauna with a minimalist approach towards Indian miniature art. Her work wishes to invite the viewer into her own web of creative impulses which are sumptuously woven into known and unknown corral forms. The known mutate the unknown, imitating and renovating the ‘real’, as her ‘kunstwollen’ further gives rise to an innovative visual glossary of the implausible Imagery, which is predominant in her intricate detailed work.
Priyanka’s present series is mostly on acrylic on linen canvas. In relation to her work, the space forms a center stage on whichfigures, and other imagery seem to trespass momentarily. Eclectic visual ecstasies which emerge and evolve from the very indigenous heritage of Indian miniature paintings become an innate part of her
diction.
She is credited with numerous important shows in India and abroad. She has been part of the prestigious cross residency program in
Bordeaux, France by Bordeaux Metropolis and Kalakritiart gallery in Hyderabad and alsoanother residency by A4all in SanskritiKendra, Delhi, India.
