Ritika Aurora’s Debut Solo Exhibition Celebrates Women and Nature

Through evocative pieces Ritika Aurora brings themes of femininity and nature’s transformative power to Bikaner House, New Delhi

Ritika Aurora, an accomplished artist and mentor at the Milan Art Institute USA, presents her debut solo exhibition ‘A Force of Nature’. Curated by Georgina Maddox, this evocative showcase at Kalamkaar Gallery blends figurative and semi-abstract styles to explore the themes of hope, positivity, and the transformative power of feminine energy and nature.

Ritika’s transition from homemaker to professional artist reflects a deep personal evolution. Her color palette—soft pinks, golds, off-whites, and earthy browns—evokes femininity and warmth. Motifs such as winged women, blooming flowers, butterflies, and golden mists speak of growth, resilience, and self-empowerment.

“Through my paintings, I explore themes of independence, self-actualization, and authenticity,” says Ritika Aurora. “My art serves as a voice that speaks to the transformative power of embracing one’s true self.”

Curatorial Perspective: Textures, Symbols, and Hope

Curator Georgina Maddox describes Ritika’s process as intuitive and experimental, starting with fluid ink washes and intricate textures—paisley, lace, and henna patterns. The use of gold leaf throughout her compositions symbolizes prosperity and radiance. Works such as the delicate paper boat amidst turbulent waters further highlight themes of hope and interconnectedness.

Ritika’s body of work invites viewers to reflect on the nurturing energies of nature and the feminine. Her art serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder to protect and celebrate these life-giving forces.
