ABOUT 

India is an emerging artist working in the drawing and painting medium. Her art is a whole arrangement. Emulating the dynamic push and pull of energy through the articulation of unseen forces in colour. Ideas of expanded consciousness are unearthed in her practice. She reminds us of who we are in this liminal space between the physical world and subconscious mind-scape through a polycemic playground of color, shape, feeling, energy, frequency and vibration.


Biography

India Swinton. Born 2000

BFA - National Art School, 2022

MFA - National Art School, 2024

India is a British/Australian Artist, currently based in NSW Australia. India was born in the UK in 2000, moving with her family in 2003 to the east coast of Australia. She was raised swimming in the surf, painting and practicing yoga with her mother and sister, traveling back and forth to the UK and parts of Asia to visit family and friends. From an early age India was taught by her mother to explore her dreams and her subconscious as they are gateways into to other realms with messages and symbols to explore. Spirituality has always played a significant role in India’s life and flows through her practice expressed through colour, and movement. Currently India is undertaking her Masters of Fine art at the National Art School in Sydney, researching the notion of Transcendence. She takes great influence from artists such as Hilma AF Klint, Georgiana Houghton, Emma Kunz, Gotthard Graubner and Wolfgang Laib.
