Lines are everywhere.....
Lines can make you wait.....

Lines can hold you back.... Lines can set you free....
Lines can keep you together.... Lines can set you apart....

But eventually what matters are the lines that you leave behind...

The journey of a moving point, is recorded by the trail it leaves behind, geometrically known as a Line. A point can be considered to be the inception of everything present in nature; therefore a line proves to be an inevitable part of our existence.

Born in 1981 in Delhi, Chetnaa completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Painting from the College of Art in the city.
The core of her art focuses on geometricism and lines re ective of the urban metroscape. Her drawings and paintings, formed by moving points, and their grouping and ungrouping, take on an abstract oeuvre as they are then developed into uni ed compositions. The concept of her lines is straight and simple and yet balanced in its discourse.

She has been a part of many exhibitions in Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai and Brussels. Currently her work is moving into a new direction with experimentation in installations with laser lights though it continues to conform to the ethos of her geometrical drawings.
The artist has received AIFACS, All India Drawing Award, Emerging Artist of the Year by Glen ddich and Best College Art Award, Honourable Mention Award, South Central Zone . Her works are in the collection of the College of Art Museum, Museum of Sacred Arts, Belgium as well private collectors in India.
