Mamta has lived and worked in Varanasi, New York and San Francisco; Simplicity, integration with nature, relevance to our cultural identity and heritage are the trademarks of her work.Her true inspiration is drawn from the city of Varanasi, a conglomeration of texture and colour. The juxtaposition and contrast of the urban fabric, a rich culture, a timeless way of life rooted in nature, have inspired her to paint cityscapes highlighting the ephemeral beauty and fragility of Varanasi, while evoking the intense vitality of an ancient and vibrant lifestyle.
