Mathai, now based in Los Angeles, was born in the UK to Indian parents, but spent most of her childhood in the rural Deep South of the United States, which has heavily influenced the concepts she explores in her art. She feels that the aesthetic (and a touch of irreverence) is paramount; however, on the “series level” her works often translate feelings of rebellion, “otherness”, and the constructed self, with a touch of mysticality. Through her work, she explores the world’s dualities. In her mind, her work generally reflects on boundaries, both real and imagined, and blurs them. Her work has been awarded, featured in international art magazines, and exhibited across the world. You can learn more about her at www.byMathai.com
