Yashi Khatanhar

Art has been a sanctuary for Yashi since her childhood, transforming complex emotions into creative expression. Once seen as a barrier, anxiety became a bridge for connection through art. Films inspired an appreciation for the interplay of light, color, and imperfection, shaping an authentic approach to creativity.

A move to Dubai brought new opportunities, including exhibitions at Hayat Art Gallery and others. Awards like the Best Emerging Artist at the Hayat Arts Mirage Awards & Fashion Show Event and the Artistic Luminary Award for fashion photography highlighted her talent and growth. Transformative moments, like hearing how her mural resonated with someone’s struggles, reinforced the power of vulnerability in art.

Experimentation now defines their process, blending free-flowing forms with structure to reflect their emotional journey. Each creation, whether painting or photography, bridges its inner world with the larger one, continuing an inspiring evolution of connection and creativity.
