Description

I’m a visual artist with 25+ years of experience and a tattoo artist with 3 years of professional practice. I work across wall art, commissioned artworks, murals, and tattoos, and I’m comfortable creating on almost any surface using brushes, inks, and mixed media.

I enjoy collaborating on creative, hands-on projects and can contribute to both ongoing and upcoming artistic work—whether it’s painting walls, enhancing spaces with original art, developing visual concepts, or assisting in creative production. I adapt easily to different styles and environments and love bringing ideas to life through color, form, and storytelling.

If you’re running a creative space, studio, café, retreat, hostel, or art project and need someone who can add visual character, originality, and skilled execution, I’m happy to contribute my experience and creative energy.

What else ...

Outside of my creative work, I enjoy slow, mindful living and connecting with people through shared spaces and conversations. I’m interested in art discussions, storytelling, and learning from different cultures and creative communities.

I enjoy board games and casual group activities, spending time in nature, and quiet creative moments like sketching, journaling, or observing everyday life for inspiration. I’m respectful of shared spaces, adaptable to different routines, and enjoy contributing positively to community life—whether through creative collaboration or simply being present and helpful.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Learn about permaculture and ...)

I spent almost two weeks with Michael and Tanja, and this was honestly one of those Workaway experiences that stays with you long after you leave.

I came there to create a wall artwork, but I left with so much more. The artwork itself became one of the pieces that feels truly special in my life—not just because of what I created, but because of … read more

Left by host (Learn about permaculture and ...) for Workawayer ()

Ankita stayed with us for ten days, and from the very beginning we had agreed on a rather special Workaway project: instead of the usual jobs around the house and garden, she would create a mural for us. And what she created went far beyond anything we had imagined.
Ankita is an exceptionally talented artist. Her work is intricate, expressive and … read more full of detail – combining fine lines, organic shapes, elements of nature and her own very distinctive visual language. Watching the mural slowly grow on our wall was fascinating. The amount of patience, concentration and creativity she put into it was incredible, and the finished piece absolutely exceeded our expectations. We now have a truly unique piece of art in our home that will remind us of her for many years to come.
Ankita also has her very own rhythm – she happily turned night into day. :-) She would often sleep late and then disappear into her creative world, painting until the early hours of the morning. So, we didn't necessarily see much of her during the day, but we always came together for a late breakfast and dinner, which became an important and very enjoyable part of our days.
We took turns cooking, and Ankita spoiled us with some wonderful Indian food – definitely another highlight of her stay!
But what made these ten days special was not only her art. Ankita is a wonderfully warm, open-minded and expressive person, both with words and with a paintbrush. She is genuinely interested in people and the world around her, and we shared many interesting conversations and philosophical discussions and, above all, a lot of laughter. She has a lively, unconventional and very likeable personality and brings something colourful and inspiring into the place she stays.
Ankita was not simply a Workawayer who came to complete a project. For ten days she became part of our little world here – in her own very Ankita way: sleeping late, cooking Indian food, talking and laughing with us, and painting deep into the night.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ankita – especially to hosts who appreciate creativity, individuality, interesting conversations and someone who might just transform an ordinary wall into something extraordinary.
Thank you, Ankita, for your art piece, your company, your humour and the many good conversations. It was a pleasure having you here!
We wish you all the very best for your upcoming exhibitions and art projects here in Sweden. May you find many walls and spaces to fill with your art, many people who appreciate your unique way of seeing the world, and plenty of new adventures and inspiration along the way. We are curious to see where your artistic journey takes you next – and we very much hope that our paths will cross again somewhere along the way.
