Over the past few months, I have had the most rewarding pleasure of working with artist Rashmi Ghosh. During our enlightening, bi-weekly discussions on-line, I have witnessed an artist take a seed idea and grow it into what might well become her life’s work as an artist and keeper of history. Her dedication and commitment to learning is what makes working with Rashmi such a pleasure and in turn, her education becomes an education for future generations. At first glance, the new, geometric stepwell paintings created by Rashmi Ghosh might have a certain decorative element to them, but look closely, ask the questions and venture into each work and you’ll witness for yourself an incredible history and storytelling Rashmi is reminding us of. A reminder we must heed today before we lose these important structures to our rapidly changing world.

Today, in many parts of our world, water catchments are going dry, while others are flooding to capacity, but water, whether we have it in abundance or not, must be protected and preserved, cared for spiritually so that the elixir of life itself, keeps all life, alive, generation to generation.

There are few artists today whom, through the creation in their visual work provide us a visual serenity, while quietly reminding us of our fragility here on earth, and how we must be conscious and protective of all elements, past, present and future. Rashmi Ghosh is one of these artists we must listen to through her message and magnificent art.

Rashmi Gosh has been actively pursuing her art project, ‘Descent into the Incredible Stepwells of India’ while combining modalities of research, documentation and artistic representation. Passionate about water conservation and preservation of heritage, Ghosh has conducted extensive field trips to study several stepwells spread across arid regions of the country and has built her art practice around it. Deploying a multimedia approach, she has been drawing and painting architectural features of these stepwells, and has documented them through field research, and study of written and oral history traditions.

Rashmi Ghosh's Artworks were selected for the Sampravah theme at the India Art Architecture and Design Biennale 2023, red Fort, Delhi under my curation. Her mixed media works on the Stepwells of India using fractal geometry and their repetition to highlight water conservation in ancient India are unique. She has been visiting and documenting these Stepwells and talking to the locals and historians about their construction, history and utility. This has helped her to document their history and narrate them in her artworks using various materials and techniques like painting, drawing and photography. I wish her all the best for a fruitful art career ahead.
