Artist Profile
“A painter should never do what people expect of him.” - Pablo Picasso
Priya Sharma Asencio is an artist based in Los Angeles. She is an intuitive painter who creates from emotion, music, spirituality, and nature. Color is key when she paints, as she honors the way it blends, transforms, and becomes something new, much like life.
She believes art doesn't need to be put in a category, and creation itself, is the reason to make art. Whether dabbling in realism or something more abstract, she always leads with her heart. Priya's aesthetic is an external manifestation of her internal feelings, so it doesn't look like any one thing.
Her work challenges the idea of style, understanding it is always evolving, and never confined to a box.​​​​​
