Ep6. 1001 Nights, Floating Islands, Curating and Perfect Brushes with Vaishali Prazmari
“Vaishali Prazmari is an artist incorporating Persian, Indian and Chinese elements into her work. This cultural richness has a historical tradition dating back to the Silk Road and it is epitomized in Islamic, Safavid Persian and Mughal Indian miniature paintings. She integrates both the ancient and the modern in her own works and brings traditional miniature painting to life for a wider audience through her various roles as as artist, educator and curator.”
“Vaishali holds degrees from both the Slade School of Fine Art and the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts and holds an MA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (UCL) specializing in floating islands. She studied Persian and Indian miniature painting during her MA at PSTA and Chinese painting under a master in Hong Kong. She is working towards a PhD involving miniature painting and the 1001 Arabian Nights. Having studied the traditions of the historic major miniature painting centres as well as today's contemporary art she is uniquely placed to offer these original courses blending the best of the ancient and the modern.”
