PORTFOLIO
Deepthi Thota
Visual Artist
Creating evocative visual stories through painting, illustration, and mixed media, where every brushstroke breathes life into emotion.
Where art meets intention, and craft meets soul.
I'm Deepthi Thota, a visual artist based in Bangalore with over a decade of immersive practice in painting, illustration, and mixed media. My work is rooted in emotion — each piece is a conversation between colour, texture, and the quiet stories we carry within us.
Trained at the Bangalore School of Art and Srishti Institute of Art, Design & Technology, I've spent years refining both the technical rigour and the emotional intelligence that great art demands. My studio practice spans oil and acrylic paintings, intricate watercolour studies, charcoal portraiture, and experimental collage.
My works have been exhibited across India and collected internationally. I've collaborated with brands like Penguin Books, Fabindia, and Nykaa — always with the belief that art should feel personal, not decorative.
