Reflections – A Journey Through Freedom
A collection of Paintings by Vandana Krishna

Reflections is not just an exhibition—
it is a map of emotions,
a city seen through the eyes of a dreamer.
Vandana Krishna, a self-taught artist from Mumbai,
brings alive the restless, radiant heartbeat of the city—
where every road leads to a story,
and every window reveals a secret waiting to be found.
Drive along Marine Drive,
feel the salt on your skin and the wind on your face.
Walk barefoot At the Beach,
as waves whisper unspoken thoughts.
Take off above the buildings of Mumbai,
Be Together in the City at Sunset.
Just float between clouds and glass towers.
Or move through the City Grove in a Kaali-Peeli,
letting life blur into colours through a rain-soaked window.
For the bold—
there’s always an Auto ride,
zigzagging through narrow lanes of chance, into a City at Sunset.
Get anchored at an Old Harbour,
where time stands still.
Take an evening stroll in the Lost City,
or float weightless in a Still Night.
Rush past the glowing Traffic Lights with that Drizzle,
where the world becomes water and reflection.
After a long day,
take The leap into Freedom,
or fly off with My Parachute.
Taste that moment
when bravery defeats routine.
Be in the Storm,
yet hold your calm—
until you reach
the Windows to the Soul.
Because her art is not just canvas and paint—
it is a cry for Flying Free
from norms that confine us at home and work,
from cubicles and clock-towers,
from traffic jams and tangled thoughts.
We all seek that one window
through which we can breathe ourselves back to life.
Reflections invites you there.
Come discover your own meaning.
Leave with a piece of the journey—
and maybe, a piece of yourself.
