Kajal Zaveri
New York, New York
Artist Kajal Zaveri paints vibrant landscapes that capture feelings of joy and celebration. She infuses her work with bold colors inspired by her Indian upbringing, deliberately arranging them to express her profound connection with nature. "I think my art is a balanced fusion of cultures and environments, something that reflects my personal journey and the sceneries that inspire me," says Kajal. She departs from traditional realism and gives way to a more representational composition to evoke a meditative response from the viewer. Having relocated from California to New York, Kajal works in her apartment studio, playing music that complements her creative flow. When she is not painting, she enjoys reading, trying out new recipes, and volunteering to teach art to kids.
Artist Statement
I am a New York artist, and until recently, a San Francisco-based artist. My art comes from a happy and positive place and reflects the calm and clarity I find in nature. I paint in a loose, semi-abstract style—where shapes blur and colors breathe—echoing the way nature speaks to me: gently, endlessly, and always anew. My work is rooted in the natural world, not just for its beauty, but for the quiet truths it offers: the promise of new beginnings, the strength in stillness, the wisdom in change.
Through layers of color, shifting forms, and intuitive brushwork, I don’t try to capture a landscape exactly, but rather the way it feels to stand in it. In the middle of our rushed lives, I hope my work offers a quiet moment—a breath—and the reminder that nature is always present. I invite viewers to engage with the work on an emotional level, finding their own connections and interpretations within the interplay of color, form, and movement and offer them a sense of connection, and the quiet joy of being present—a place where they can pause, feel, and reconnect with the rhythm of something greater.
