Puja Mondal (b. 1994, Kolkata, India) obtained her Masters’ and Bachelors' Degrees in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, MSU, Baroda in the years 2019 and 2017 respectively. Recently she was granted the Elizabeth Greenshield Foundation grant in Painting in 2023. She is awarded the Nasreen Mohamedi scholarship from her alma mater. Puja Mondal’s artworks have evolved as expressions of nostalgia for the absent and a silent grief for the memories of the lost. She has been attracted to the changing spaces around her and the loss of cultural handiwork with time. Puja’s practice depicts cerebral spaces where the narratives of isolation and loss were built up with the experiential realities of the surrounding spaces, further pondering upon the apathetic numbness and remorse that shrouds human existence in the whirlwind of civilization and development.
