Manik Raj Nakra reimagines the ancient world as an extension of our own.

Through bold, contemporary applications of paint, woodblock printing, collage, ceramic stucco, and mixed media, Nakra fuses Indian iconography, colonial relics, and mythological motifs to explore civilization’s enduring relationships with power, ritual, desire, and transformation.
