About
Sahana in her favorite outfit, standing outside Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile on a busy, pleasant day, after a visit to Camera Obscura & World of Illusions.
From the top floor, she took in breathtaking views of the city below, where people were living their best lives and experiencing Edinburgh for the first time.
The lively sound of bagpipe music filled the streets, while a gentle wind blew through the Royal Mile, adding movement and life to the scene.
Sahana is an Indian visual artist from Bangalore.
She developed her practice at the Edinburgh College of Art and Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology.
Her work explores emotions through colorful, bold lines and exaggerated forms, capturing feeling and narrative in playful compositions. By weaving her background in yoga into her creative process, she uses mindfulness to explore themes of mental health, creativity and emotional well-being.
When she isn’t drawing, Sahana enjoys supporting others in finding their own spark, helping them connect and heal through art in ways that feel easy and approachable.
Research Interests
Time spent hanging out at the School of Architecture at the University of Edinburgh shaped Sahana’s curiosity for
cross-domain projects and collaborative creative processes. Degree shows and urban design exhibitions, with their bold and sometimes wild ideas, sparked her imagination and reflected a culture of experimentation and shared thinking.
Creative Focus
Current Side Project
She recently co-founded Cǎlai Art Collective alongside two creatives from China and Taiwan. Together, they started an online community dedicated to supporting Asian art and design. The collective serves as a vital platform for emerging graduates and artists to connect with like-minded peers, showcase their work, collaborate on cross-border projects, and participate in specialized workshops and group exhibitions.
