About

Urna Sinha’s practice contemplates ideas of death, decay, regeneration and mutation. Through natural remains – insects, bones and corals amongst other detritus – she records intergenerational, historical, archaeological and deep time. Sinha is interested in textures and structural makes as surfaces to excavate time from.

Urna (b. 1996) is an alumnus of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda (2020) Kala Bhavana, Santiniketan (2018) and Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts TALM, Angers, France, as an exchange student (2017).

She is a recipient of the Looking Ahead: 30 Under 30 Artist’s List, by Art India.

The artist lives and works in Goa.
