Devanjalee currently and actively practices visual arts, Butoh and an arts facilitation. Her varied profiles have a common ground of exploration of the mythical and the mystical. Devanjalee’s visual art journey has been inspired by the Japanese sub-conscious body Butoh. Her art is a weave of dramatic expressiveness of lines and form into a rich narrative of primitive iconography and mythic fantasy, bearing the diversity of emotive experience and multifarious dimensions of time and space.
