Gaya Chandrasekaran · Winner Collectors Art Prize
Gaya Chandrasekaran is a London-based contemporary artist. Born in the coastal city of Chennai, India, her artistic practice is deeply influenced by the vivid colors and rich cultural heritage of her upbringing. Working primarily with acrylics, palette knives, and gold leaf, she creates layered, emotive landscapes that invite quiet introspection and a sense of transcendence.
Gaya has trained in India and at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Her artworks have been exhibited widely across the UK, US and Europe, with features in prominent art publications such as Contemporary Art Curator, Artist Talk, and ArtistCloseUp magazines.
Her paintings have been reviewed by Tabish Khan, a renowned London art critic, and are held in private collections across the US, UK, Spain, Italy, Brazil, and India - including a permanent display at the London Business School.
Through her abstract landscapes, Gaya explores themes of shared human experience — the search for meaning (Quest), the inner voice of contemplation (Soliloquy), cycles of transformation (Rebirth), and the pursuit of spiritual growth (Nirvana). Her paintings serve as a visual meditation on nature and the profound emotional terrain of life itself.
