Shaili Malla is a visual artist and Illustrator based in Kathmandu, Nepal. She is a graduate of Fine Arts from Kathmandu University, School of Arts, Department of Art and Design. Shaili’s art practices encompass a wide range of techniques, including painting, drawing, printmaking, digital art, and mixed media. Her artistic inspiration stems from the stories that surround her and her own personal experiences. These narratives serve as the foundation for her creative exploration, allowing her to infuse her artworks with a sense of depth and meaning.
One of the distinctive aspects of Shaili’s artistic approach is her experimentation with layers of translucent papers. Through this technique, she is able to create soft, subtle, and delicate visuals in her artwork. These layered compositions serve as a visual representation of her exploration of memories and innocence, capturing the ephemeral nature of these themes. By utilising translucent papers, Shaili is able to evoke a sense of nostalgia and ethereality, immersing viewers in a world of forgotten stories.
