Anju Chanana, originally from India and currently based in Los Angeles, California, is a profoundly passionate artist whose creative journey beautifully weaves together diverse cultural influences and artistic expressions.
As a self-taught artist, she embarks on a path of self-discovery through the realms of yoga, spirituality, and art. For Anju, the act of creation transforms into a meditation practice, fostering mindfulness and providing her with an anchoring presence.
Using acrylics, acrylic inks, and gold foil on canvas as her chosen mediums, Anju consistently broadens her artistic horizons by exploring new avenues. Her art is fueled by a profound love for vibrant colors and a deep connection to her Indian heritage, often reflecting a spiritual essence.
Each stroke of her paintings manifests a fusion of cultural influences, showcasing the profound harmony among yoga, spirituality, and art.
