Nivedita Saha is an interdisciplinary artist based out of Dubai, with an extensive practice spanning different methodologies and forms.

 Born in 1972, Maharashtra, India, Nivedita acquired a BFA from Sir JJ Institute of Applied Arts, Mumbai, 1996. After her bachelor’s, she spent over a decade working in Commercial Arts (Advertising & Communication), years later completing her Masters in Social Sculpture and Connective Practice from Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, England.

In 2002, she moved to the Middle East where she found her true calling: Fine Arts. Gaining support to pursue this calling, she followed her passion for seeking a foothold in the art world both locally and on a global scale. Researching and experimenting with various mediums and methods of art evolved into a way of life for Nivi to this day. Her body of work expresses her inner thoughts and visions.

Nivi’s practice focuses on philosophical ideas expressed through diverse forms of narratives. She is interested in retaining old traditions and, in contrast, exploring new ones by creating an honest interactive space for dialogue and reflection. This space is that of a transformative nature, bringing together people from different walks of life. It intends to encourage culturally-distinct individuals to think about what it means for societies to co-exist in this world.

Her profound interest and understanding in Mythology, Culture, and Impacts of Faith led her to travel and share ideas across the borders in Kazakhstan, Germany, England, Malaysia, the United States, Portugal, and India. She connected with these regions through performances, art calls, collaborative projects, biennales, and art residencies.

Currently, Nivi lives in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and operates from her Art atelier, ‘Art Studio Meraki.’ She has worked on various platforms, undertaking interdisciplinary projects while familiarizing herself with several methodologies/ cultures from her secondary research and interactive experiences.
