Vimmi Indra completed Bachelor in Fine Arts (BFA) from Government Institute of Fine Arts, Jabalpur. Her journey of growing up in the smallest corners of Bihar and later moving to the big world of cities is reflected in her lucid dream-like artwork. Born in the year 1969, the learning’s have come from the guidance given by her Guru Smt. Anjolie Ela Menon, a renowned artist herself. Vimmi’s paintings are a fantasy world where figures float against an ever-changing environment of our cities, buildings and nature. Her canvases pulsate with an inner rhythm and energy, glowing like jewels with colours and expressive figures. The vibrant palette and use of soft brush technique speak of a mature handling of the medium. While her earlier paintings were a union of imagination and reality in her cityscape series, her new works appear like a lucid dream with simple expressive figures. The viewer is transported into a parallel universe as he sees his visions of a lost world taking a pictorial form.

Her art practice employs a simple yet meditative approach, no ornamentation yet enigmatically beautiful, limited colour palette yet it offers an intriguing possibility to the interpretation of diverse art lovers. Her work is a manifestation of her daily encounter with the life in discordant social order, complexities of social intercourse & her amicable yet mute response that forms a launching pad for her art practice which seemingly is an attempt to engage with the society.

Vimmi’s artwork has received recognition from the Hon’ble President of India as a part of an artists-in-residence camp held in the premises of Rashtrapati Bhawan. Her work now is a part of the Hon’ble President’s art collection. Vimmi has held several solo and group art shows in India and abroad. She regularly contributes to charity and auction shows looking for ways to give back to society through her artwork.

The recipient of Utthan Samiti Award in 2018 and IBN 7’s Guru Shishya Award in 2012 with her renowned Smt. Anjolie Ela Menon, Vimmi regularly engages school students by conducting workshops and encouraging students for pursuing arts as a career course and has organized camps within the Rashtrapati Bhawan premises, various top schools in New Delhi. Her works are a part of numerous public and private art collections. The artist lives and works in Delhi.
