But art was always a constant. She continued to create with no pressure, no grades, and no jury but just for the love of it. <br>Sahaja is a self-taught artist whose work is inspired by architecture and landscapes from her travels. Old abandoned buildings, detailed temples, open landscapes, and traditional prints and patterns often find their way into her work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll mostly find her in a caf\u00e9 in Bangalore, sketchbook open on the table, painting with watercolours and gouache. There\u2019s also coffee, a ceramic matka for water, paintbrushes everywhere, and a bit of a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex
