Sneha Rai is an visual artist based in Kathmandu, Nepal. She likes to work across a wide range of mediums, including acrylics, pen & ink, and oils. She loves experimenting with the expressive palette knife technique to create texture, depth and movement within her pieces.

How I Create

Every artwork I create is a little adventure. I love exploring new ideas and letting my feelings guide my hands. Here's how I turn inspiration into something you can see and feel.

1. Inspiration

It all starts with a spark sometimes a walk in nature, a fleeting emotion, or a memory. I let these moments guide my imagination and fuel my creativity.

I find inspiration everywhere: in morning light, old photographs, conversations, and quiet moments of reflection.

2. Exploration

I play with colors, textures, and techniques, letting curiosity lead the way. This is where ideas begin to take shape and possibilities unfold.

Experimentation is key mixing mediums, trying new approaches, and embracing the unexpected discoveries along the way.

3. Creation

Layer by layer, I build the piece, adding depth and meaning. Each stroke and detail is a step closer to the story I want to tell.

This is where patience meets passion carefully building up the artwork while staying open to how it wants to evolve.

4. Refinement

The final touches matter most. I spend time perfecting details, adjusting balance, and making sure the artwork feels complete before sharing it.

These finishing moments are magical when everything comes together and the piece finally says what I intended it to say.
