About Eashita
Emotional art, carefully made.
The bug for art was always there. As a child, I was always drawing, painting or making something with my hands. But somewhere between architecture school, deadlines, work and life, that part of me quietly slipped into the background.
I went on to study Architecture and later completed a Master's in Sustainability at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, one of the world's most influential architecture schools, and the alma mater of architects like Zaha Hadid. Architecture taught me to notice things most people walk past. How light changes a room. How colours influence emotion. How spaces quietly shape the way we feel.
Then, almost by accident, I signed up for an art workshop in 2019. It was supposed to be one Friday evening. Instead, it felt like I had found a part of myself that had been waiting patiently all along.
When the world slowed down during the COVID lockdown, so did I. Painting became something I returned to almost every day, not to create something perfect or beautiful, but to process what I was feeling and make sense of a world that suddenly felt uncertain.
Around the same time, I spent 50 days travelling solo across Western Europe while COVID restrictions changed almost daily. Rebooking trains overnight and planning one day at a time taught me to slow down and really observe — the colours, the textures, the people, and the quiet stories hidden in everyday life.
Looking back, architecture, travel and painting were never separate passions. They all taught me to notice. They all taught me to feel.
That's why Artfully Alive exists.
I don't paint simply to create something beautiful. I paint to preserve a feeling, honour a memory and tell stories that words often cannot. Whether it's a place that changed you, a chapter you never want to forget, or a relationship that carried you through life's hardest moments, my hope is that every piece becomes something you don't just hang on a wall, but something you come back to for years to come.
I'm based in India and available for commissions, collaborations, and workshops.
Watercolour & Acrylics
What I Make. How. Why.
I paint what can't be said in words — the feeling of watching a meteor shower alone, the comfort of being held in the dark, the way a bonfire looks when you finally let something go.
My process is intuitive. I begin with a feeling or image in my mind — sometimes it comes from a dream, sometimes from a walk, sometimes from a line in a book. I let the watercolour bleed and move and settle, and then I respond to it. Acrylics come in later for depth and detail.
I make art because I believe images can hold emotions that words cannot. A painting can live in a room and continue to feel. It can mean something different to the person who made it and the person who lives with it — and both meanings are true.
My architecture background taught me to think about how people move through space, how light changes the experience of a room. I bring that thinking to every canvas — where does your eye go first? What does it discover second? What lingers?
