ShivaniMathur                                                           

Although she has painted consistently and regularly since the age of five, it was only recently that ShivaniMathur began to identify herself as an artist after she enrolled at Central Saint Martins in 2019 to pursue a masters in Art and Science.
Defying convention, in her early twenties, she had chosen a career in the all male world of investment banking where she learnt  that if a woman  wants  to shatter the glass ceiling she has to shatter glass. 
She became increasingly interested in social justice, unpredictable human behaviour, equality and the status of minority. Her work explores the logic behind how barely perceptible cracks and gaps in us, in our relationships and our surroundings, take on momentum to create seismic change.
As an artist, she began to explore cracks and gaps - not as fault lines, but as pathways that let light in - a light has potential to shows us the path for the emergence of new paradigms.
Shivani currently works with wasted and discarded glass, mirror, eggshells often combining technology and algorithms to make her work interactive. 
As an self taught artist, Shivani’s work has been exhibited at charitable events since 2008 , both in the Uk and internationally.: The McMillan Delonghi art auction at Bonhams, The Egg Hunt by the Elephant family in Covent Garden, A solo shows with Deutsche Bank at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, at the ACAF fair at Bozar in Brussels and private exhibitions in Seattle and in India. She has a constant desire to engage and learn : in 2019, she enrolled at Central Saint Martins to, observe, interrogate and refine her artistic practice.
