"Sharing something so personal with the world felt vulnerable, but the kindness, encouragement, and genuine connection I received gave me confidence. Art has a way of speaking directly to the heart, and seeing my work resonate with others made the risk worthwhile."

Suaima Akhtar (@the_bunt_palette) is an Indian artist who is passionate about drawing, painting, creating, and sharing her art with the world. From intricate mandalas to calming sunsets, she explores all kinds of vibrant mediums and styles. 

Growing up, she wanted to become a psychologist but when life threw a curveball, Suaima took the leap and committed wholeheartedly to art. She thought, if a psychiatrist calms the mind with words, why not calm people’s minds with art? Truly inspiring!
