SEEMA KOHLI: ARTIST TALK AT PALO ALTO ART CENTER WITH SACHI (Society for Art and Cultural Heritage of India)

Seema Kohli is one of India’s most distinguished contemporary artists, with a practice that spans painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. For more than four decades, her work has brought together memory, mythology, spirituality, and lived experience, creating immersive environments that invite reflection and contemplation.

Kohli’s work has been featured in major international exhibitions and museums, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Sacred Art in Belgium in 2019 and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2016. Her work is held in institutional collections such as the British Museum (UK), Rubin Museum (USA), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (US), among others.

Kohli is also a sought-after speaker and has been invited to present at organizations and institutions including TEDx, Harvard University, the University of Chicago, and the University of California at Davis, among others.

Drawing from her upcoming exhibition Samsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli, at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, artist Seema Kohli will reflect on themes of continuity, meditation, and the dialogue between her inner and outer worlds. Framed through cosmic dualities—sky and earth, sun and moon, within and without—the talk will touch on the mandala as a mental and cosmic structure of balance and order.

With bija mantra recitations and insights connecting a mandala installation gifted by SACHI (Society for Art and Cultural Heritage of India) to the Palo Alto Art Center, this talk offers a resonant exploration of art, reflection, and interconnectedness.
