Born and graduated in art from the Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalay,in Pune, Jaya has developed a style, a combination of abstract and figurative, which is so unique to her. The drooping wide eyes of both animals and humans, gaping directly at the beholder, convey their apathy of Karma or complete dependency on Nature and her vagaries. These emotions so vividly painted in the gloomy grays and black, sometimes come alive with brighter hues of yellow, reds and greens with the kites of providence flying high towards the unlimited sky, far beyond the cluster of concrete walls.
Jaya has six solo shows and twenty group shows to her credit, since 1991. Winner of several awards, Jaya has participated in many artists’ workshops and her works are in collection with the First Citizen of India, Late Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, other political dignitaries, private corporate bodies and other art collectors in India, USA, Germany, Japan and Australia.
Jaya lives and works in Hyderabad.
