Anjana Varghese/ Women Art

Anjana Varghese is a London-based self-taught oil painter and neurosurgical trainee. She paints alongside her work in medicine, using art to slow down and process experience.

Her work is inspired by travel and time spent outdoors, particularly mountains and wide landscapes. Many of her paintings begin with photographs taken during her own journeys, including one of her climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. She works mainly in oils, exploring light, scale, and atmosphere through expressive mark-making that moves between representation and abstraction.
