Hi, I’m Riya — an artist, illustrator, and storyteller who paints to slow down and reconnect with the world. A graduate of NIFT and NID, I began my creative journey in design but found my way back to the brush through a quiet promise: to show up for 100 days and make art just for joy.

What you’ll find here is a reflection of that journey.

Thanks for being here. I hope my art feels like a gentle reminder — to pause, to breathe, and to create.
