we’ll rise. Just you wait”

Digital Landscapes
My works are propelled by my sense of observation and curiosity. An abundant use of images allows me to weave stories and create a world of suspended conversations.
PRINTMAKING IMPRESSIONS
I love telling stories through this exciting contemporary medium and consider these works as an ode to the beginning of my art journey as a printmaker.
“Conjuring up visual landscapes that traverse a variety of time periods, Jain’s skill at merging images is lucid – the movement is smooth, while conceptually, her works hold together as elucidations of wider human concerns.”
Allana
Gallerist
“Santosh Jain’s work displays an exceptional degree of conceptual sophistication, hi-tech suave, social relevance and dexterous skills. All her works display an enchanting etiquette. And the resultant colorful and translucent imagery is propelled by the impulse of discovery. ”

Graphics
I found in printmaking a medium that resonates perfectly with my curiosity and experimental nature.
Other Mediums
Acrylic on canvas
I feel strongly for women. They are emotional, silent sufferers, pillars of strength and also game players.
Charcoal
Charcoal is such a fragile medium and yet I find it as bold as it is sensitive.
Mixed media
Art doesn't exist in the brush, the canvas, or the screen of a computer. Art is the soul hidden in the medium.
