PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Silence is not absence—it is the weight we carry between moments, the fierce breath held beneath the noise of a city that never sleeps. Ashima Dhir Sehgal (ADS) invites you into this quiet battleground with her Stoic Silences—a journey through the unseen resilience that lives inside us all. Her work, unfolding through paint, clay, and lens, does not ask for your understanding; it demands your feeling. With every muted hue and fractured form, she captures the tension between endurance and surrender, the stories we bury beneath our skin. Exhibited across continents and honored with awards like India’s Artistic Vanguard and the EWAA Emerging Women Artists Award, Ashima’s art is a whispered truth, a mirror held up to the soul’s unspoken depths. This is not decoration—it is a confrontation. A reminder that silence is not empty, but sacred, and in that sacredness, we find our fiercest strength.
