Praised by the likes of legendary E. Alkazi, her works have consciously digressed from the idea of making a perfect picture frame. They evolve from a monastic discipline as practised in Buddhism. Imagination intensifies her perception of the nature transforming every object of her painting into a living being. Originally from Sikkim, Anki grew up in the pristine lap of nature. It was when she moved to Delhi for higher studies that she really realised the richness and wisdom of her inheritance, something she had so far taken for granted. It is this realisation that is often reflected in her work. Her brush strokes have a gripping appeal and the canvas spaces are delegated into slots of colour, much like a prism held up to a light within. That she was born surrounded by the scintillating landscape of Rumtek in the Himalayas is no simple coincidence. The textures arising from her tonal applications trace the journey of a pilgrim on the path to self-discovery, where every landmark by the wayside is ticked off with a hue of light and life, making the painting an interesting tracery, actualising one’s personal journey through life.
