Meena Laishram

I was born in Imphal, Manipur, a small state in Northeast India. My career started in New Delhi. My stay in Delhi gave me the opportunity to see different cultures and lifestyles from diverse places in the world. I have been always inspired by local and international cultural and artistic events. I mainly focus on capturing the daily lives and activities of Indian women, especially the tribal women of Manipur. The Traditional touch can be viewed in most of my works. I recently completed my research on the conditions and plight of women and children in the Northeastern region of India. I try to translate this research into my paintings by capturing the beauty of the Tribal women, the expression of their children’s innocent faces, the events that she experienced, making her the woman as she stands today. The bright colours like yellow, orange, cadmium red, bright blue etc., can be seen much in most of my paintings.
