ABOUT MILNA SAJEE

​

Born in Thrissur, Kerala in 1972, Milna Sajee is a contemporary Indian artist whose abstract practice explores the psychological and emotional undercurrents of human experience. Her works are constructed through layered surfaces, linear interventions, and moments of erasure — creating quiet yet charged visual fields.

 

With academic foundations across Zoology, Interior Design, CADD, and postgraduate studies in Psychology, she brings an interdisciplinary sensitivity to her studio practice. As a doctoral scholar in Psychology, she continues to explore the unseen forces that shape inner life, allowing these reflections to inform her visual language without overt narration.

 

Milna allows forms to emerge intuitively rather than through predetermined narrative. Silence, tension, opacity, and overlap become structural elements within her compositions. The result is work that resists immediate explanation and instead invites sustained contemplation.

 

She is a recipient of the Rajashree Birla Foundation Award at the Bombay Art Society (2021) and was selected among the Top 100 artists in the International Watercolor Society Globe Contest “Hope 2020.” She lives and works in India.
