Sangeeta Abhay

Sangeeta Abhay’s journey began in Buldana, a quiet town nestled near the ancient Ajanta Caves. Born into a home steeped in art and culture, Sangeeta absorbed beauty as a language long before she learned to speak it. Years later, her path would converge with a calling both personal and profound — the teachings of the Buddha. What began as an inner search soon transformed into an artistic odyssey.

A gold medallist from the Government School of Art, Aurangabad, Sangeeta’s artistic roots were laid in academic excellence and early recognition. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a prestigious university fellowship before stepping into the fast-paced world of advertising, with a 14-year tenure at McCann Erickson in Bangalore.

But something in her always yearned for stillness. A deeper rhythm beyond commercial briefs and city lights. The image of the Buddha lingered quietly, like a distant bell, until it became impossible to ignore.

At the heart of Sangeeta’s work is transformation — not dramatic, but gentle. Like the stillness of dawn or the hush of a prayer. Her central muse is Lord Buddha, but her lens is wide: Earth as witness, the Bodhi Tree as memory, the divine feminine as the sacred ground.

Her signature style blends classical Indian sensibilities with a contemporary clarity: luminous faces, meditative gestures, and richly textured surfaces that hold space for the spiritual. Through sculpture and painting, she draws the viewer inward, towards presence and peace.

Her art has earned accolades from luminaries like the Dalai Lama, Gulzar, Shyam Benegal, and Dr. Pushpa Dravid. Sangeeta Abhay's dedication to her quest continues to offer a timeless glimpse into the mystique of Lord Buddha's world.
