‘Ana’s Spring Forth’ The Art Walk of Mahua Ray

This season, the prestigious AFIACS Gallery will come alive with the evocative artistry of Mahua Ray, as she presents her much-anticipated solo exhibition, Ana’s Spring Forth. From the delicate whisper of a memory to the vibrant expression of emotion, Mahua invites you on a soul-stirring journey through her mesmerizing paintings and sculptures.

Mahua’s artistic journey began under open skies, where, as a child, she traced faces in clouds with her Maa, her first muse. This innocent curiosity grew into a lifelong pursuit of beauty and truth, nurtured by the guidance of legendary masters like Devi Prasad Roychowdhury.

Her works speak with quiet intensity, blending fluid strokes and rich textures with deep emotional insight. This latest series of oil paintings and bronze sculptures explores the ephemeral and eternal nature of human emotions. It is a poetic reflection on the fleeting moments that shape our inner worlds.

An award-winning artist with both national and international recognition, Mahua’s creations have graced galleries across Mumbai, Bangalore, New York, Paris, London, Dubai, Goa, Ahmedabad, Canada, and Delhi. Her art finds home with distinguished collectors in India and abroad, cherished for its impressionist elegance and philosophical depth.

In Ana’s Spring Forth, clouds become storytellers—soft forms transforming into visual poetry. With graceful curves and vibrant expressions, Mahua captures the vitality of the feminine spirit and the universal language of emotion. Each piece is a window into her imaginative world, where logic and lyricism walk hand in hand.

This exhibition is more than a display—it is an emotional experience, a celebration of creativity, and an invitation to reconnect with the beauty that surrounds us. Join us in the presence of Chief Guest Biman B Das to honour a body of work that inspires, moves, and uplifts.
