Siddhi Verma is a mixed media artist from Dehradun, India, residing and practicing in New York City. Weaving together architectural fragments, organic forms, and figurative imagery, she creates layered, dreamlike spaces that explore the tension between structure and fluidity. Working primarily with markers and acrylics, her intuitive process embraces rhythm and spontaneity. She is currently developing her practice as a student at Pratt Institute.
Artist Statement
My work explores the tension between structure and fluidity, and precision and spontaneity.
My shift from the expansive landscapes of India to the dense, ever-moving energy of New York City plays a key role in defining my art practice. The interplay between structured architectural forms and fluid organic elements is central to my practice. I am fascinated by how different elements coexist—the square with the circle, the large with the small, abstraction with realism, East with West. My process is an act of balancing these contrasts, allowing intuition to guide the flow while maintaining an underlying sense of order. Through a curious exploration of form, color and composition, I construct worlds - where staircases spiral into botanical forms, figures melt into floral arrangements, and structure bends into fluidity.
Ultimately, my work is about creating spaces that invite discovery. I want my pieces to make people pause—to explore shifting relationships between form, color, and space, and to lose themselves in the details.
