Portfolio updated! New hobby unlocked 🤌🏽

Bhavya Vemulapalli is an Australia-based Indian artist with a background in journalism and international relations. Her art practice focuses on cultural portraiture and visual storytelling, using watercolour and photojournalism to explore identity and lived experiences. Bhavya approaches art much like reporting—a way to foster intercultural understanding and address issues of social justice and diversity.

“The young heart wants it all! My artwork is about a journey of unbecoming everything that isn’t really ourselves. Art itself is political when the cultural nuances play a part.” —
