The solo show by Sonika Agarwal titled, Radiance of Cosmic Consciousness- Who Am I to Who I Am, was presented by Artrise Auction at Dhoomimal Gallery in New Delhi from September 13 to October 20, 2023.
Art enthusiasts experienced the paintings in light and in the dark. The first dimension is the front lit painting while the second dimension is when the front light is turned off and the painting glows in the dark creating a 360-degree immersive experience that transports viewers to the cosmic ocean or Ksheer-Sagar.
Sonika says, “Life steeped in art chose me in a small tranquil hill town in the Kumaon Hills of Uttarakhand state. This encouraged me to relocate to New Delhi which is abuzz with cultural activity.”
After working for over 11 years with various artists, artisans, tribes, and nations until one day Sonika felt completely lost. Sonika took a step back, left behind everything that she was doing and embarked on a journey of inner exploration in search of the truth of, “who exactly I am in my studio.”
