THE ALMOST ARTIST*
image 87
Hi, I’m Sarika Pandey, the almost artist* behind Ikyaad.

Trained in medicine and having worked years in banking and startups, I lived a life shaped by structure, speed, and outcomes. Art entered slowly ... first as a place of rest, then as a way of seeing, and eventually as something I could no longer keep on the margins.

I started Ikyaad as a space for creating art works that pause memories worth holding on to and creating new pauses with pieces that hold attention. Bringing art to functional spaces is my passion.

* Art is not something I claim, but something I move towards.
