Sanjukta Mitra was born with an artist’s soul. Art in many different forms has been her purpose of life. She has always found joy in expressing herself through visual art, dance and music. Born and raised in India, she has been a self taught artist for most part of her life until very recently in the year 2021, when she quit her corporate job to take up art professionally. She has an insatiable hunger for knowledge and understanding and believes that learning is a never ending journey.

Sanjukta’s work notably incorporates realism and expressionism, vividly achieved through an abundance of mixed media and oil paints.Her work captures bold strokes, high contrast color schemes, glowing vibes and illuminating paints.

Sanjukta’s favorite subjects tend to be found in spiritualism and humanity. She mixes portraiture with deep metaphors to express spiritual paradoxes, inner journey and universal connectedness.One can witness the emphasis on the essence of spiritualism and inner healings in her work.Paintings that touch people deep within and transform them to being better humans, heal their pain, inspire them to achieve the possibilities in life, fill them with love and optimism- she strives to make an impactful difference to the world through art.

She currently lives in Minnesota, US with her husband and two beautiful daughters and maintains a private working studio in her basement that overlooks a beautifully inspiring lake. She truly feels the compulsion to share her passion and knowledge with people seeking art. She runs an art school with students starting at the age of 5 to 80 years old. Sanjukta wants to dedicate rest of her life in gloriously painting inspiration, hope and joy that this world needs.
