Anupama Alias’ (b. 1990) artistic practice interrogates gender and femininity, using painting as a tool to challenge traditional representations of self and other. Her work functions as an ethnographic account, drawing from personal experiences and the lives of those she encounters, often centering her own body as a site for transformation. By blending representational and aesthetic strategies, she creates disruptions in conventional narratives, fostering new sensorial experiences that unsettle embedded cultural constructs.
