Shivani Mathur believes that Art, design and performance can produce real productive change in the world. She want to be an instrument of such change that is concrete, measurable and driven by innovation. Her current work sits at the intersection of art science, philosophy and technology. She 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.She has developeda visual language using old discarded materials– discarded glass, mirror, cracked & decaying eggshells.
Born in India, Shivani defied convention, in her early twenties and chose a career in the all male world of investment banking. As she rose to be recognised among the top two percent of women in the financial city in London, she became increasingly interested in the power of art as a medium for social justice and began to paint alongside her corporate career.
During the pandemic, she enrolled at Central Saint Martins for a masters degree in Art and Science to, observe, interrogate and refine her artistic practice. She graduated with a distinction, winning a high commendation for the ‘Maison Zero, this earth ‘ award by LVMH for sustainability.

Shivani’s work has been exhibited since 2008 , both in the Uk and internationally in venues such as Bonhams, Covent Garden, Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, at Bozar in Brussels and private exhibitions in Seattle and in India. Profits from sales of her artwork go towards charity.
