Anjolie Ela Menon


Anjolie Ela Menon (born 1940) is one of India's leading contemporary female artists.. Her paintings reveal an extraordinary sensibility, profoundly individual in perception yet diverse in its sympathies, Indian in subject yet dwelling in some undefined nudes, interiors and landscapes each markedly of her own world.

"The connection between the mind, eye and hand guided by emotion and imagination results in the ultimate creation of a work of art."
" I think young women now spend a lot of energy fighting those feminist battles. In a way it is easier to give in and play your various roles simultaneously."
