Shobha Broota

With a career spanning over six remarkable decades, Shobha Broota has carved a distinct and enduring space within the landscape of modern Indian art. From her early explorations in portraiture to experiments with printmaking, drawing, acrylics, and her pioneering use of fabric as a medium, Broota’s artistic journey is marked by constant reinvention and quiet intensity. While some have situated her practice within the sphere of neo-tantric aesthetics, the artist herself resists categorisation, insisting that her true focus lies in the dot—the point of origin and the centre of all existence. Emerging from a deep spiritual inclination, her work invites introspection and open-ended interpretation. Painting Infinity traces her evolution from the figural to the metaphysical—through colour, form, and texture.
