Antra Srivastava

Antra Srivastava, the graduate with honours in English Literature, is a self-taught artist, poet and a registered translator on Amazon.

She has travelled extensively across the globe over past 20 years which has brought her into the contact with wealth of outlooks and introduced her to vast range of perceptions ideas and knowledge. It profoundly affected her work and subsequently touched many lives. Being an army wife, social welfare has always been an integral part of her life. She has conducted various art workshops for the families and children of armed forces as well as in civil to sensitize people about the healing and uplifting power of art and also its economic prospects.

Her work is largely based on inner reflections and rich imaginations. She loves to express herself through surrealism though her body of work reflects her inclination towards abstract figurative style too. She works with oil and acrylic mostly and rich colours are an integral part of her compositions.
Recently she has collaborated her work with an acclaimed Iraqi Poet. Their idiosyncratic book 'Poetic Palette' showcasing her paintings based on the poems of the poet is published and received with great response.

She has deep interest in language and literature and apart from expressing through brushes, she expresses herself through her poems and other literary mediums as well. She has translated a novella ( A Gothic Christmas Angel) of an award-winning American author Anna Erishkigal, which was received with much love.
