Artist Statement

My practice centers on the physical history of the canvas—a record of decision, impulse, and transformation. Beginning each mixed-media piece without a fixed endpoint, I work intuitively to apply, erase, and re-layer color and line. What starts as an uninhibited exploration gradually transitions into a sensitive conversation with the surface. I am constantly negotiating what to reveal and what to submerge; the resulting works are defined by their visible history, where buried marks and accidental textures remain as evidence of the journey.

About Serina Chowdhury


Serina Chowdhury is a self-taught mixed-media artist living and working in Chicago. In 2020, she left a biology degree and pre-med path to pursue art as a vehicle for personal freedom—reconnecting with a childhood love for drawing and painting. Over the years, her work has drastically evolved from realism to pure abstraction. This stylistic evolution reflects an intentional shedding of rules and constraints. Driven by process and intuitive discovery, she approaches the canvas as an ever-evolving experiment, where the primary objective remains the ongoing pursuit of freedom in the studio.
