From Interiors to Canvas Life
Basuri Chokshi originally trained as an interior designer, spending her early years studying structures, textures, and spatial design. However, art was always present in her surroundings, inspired by her father’s jewellery sketches and her mother’s love for traditional pichhwai paintings. In 2012, she shifted fully to acrylic painting and chose canvas over construction.
