Natasha Kumar

Natasha Kumar is a British painter and printmaker celebrated for her vibrant explorations of Indian architecture, culture and identity.

Born to a family of artists with Indian roots tracing to Kashmir and Afghanistan, Kumar’s dual heritage profoundly shapes her visual language.

Her work combines fine line drawing, etching and screen-printing, often enriched with 22-carat gold leaf to evoke the warmth and spiritual resonance of Indian design.

She studied printmaking at Manchester Metropolitan University, anatomy at the Venice Accademia, and completed her MA in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts, where she won the London Printmaking Prize. Since exhibiting at the Royal Academy at age 17, Kumar’s career has flourished, with solo and group exhibitions across London including the Royal Geographical Society, Southbank Centre and Railings Gallery.

Her collections, such as Rasa: Essence of India and Utsava, blend figurative and abstract elements, using motifs from Mughal miniatures, jali windows and temple carvings to celebrate rhythm, family and belonging. Featured in spaces like Soho House Mumbai and Heathrow VIP Lounge, her art bridges tradition and modernity.

Today, Natasha Kumar’s etchings are collected worldwide for their craftsmanship, cultural depth and timeless elegance.
