Pratima Naithani is an El Salvadorian, Indian, and American artist. Born to an El Salvadorian mother and an Indian father, Naithani grew up in the suburban town of Princeton, New Jersey. Sitting astride these different cultures, the artist is closest to her Indian roots. Many of her works draw upon her summers in India and the inspiration of Indian music, film, and history. An avid traveller, Naithani continues to investigate her heritage, study cultures, collect materials for her projects, and particularly works in the spirit of preserving traditions as well as interpreting them in contemporary context for broader audiences. Upon her graduation from New York’s School of Visual Arts in 2003, Naithani’s photographs were featured alongside Karl Lagerfeld’s and Baz Luhrmann’s, among others, in Visionaire 41/World Issue. Her work was shown at the Matthieu Foss Gallery at artparis-Abudhabi, in November 2008. Recent group shows include The New Order Beauty, Palette Art Gallery, New Delhi, India, in January 2010; Engendered at Lincoln Center, New York, NY, in April 2008; Erasing Borders 2008 presented by Indo American Arts Council, New York, NY; and Fatal Love at the Queens Museum of Art, Queens, NY, presented by the Asia Society in 2005. Recent solo shows include the Visual Arts Gallery in New Delhi, India, March 2006, and Galeria Espacio, in San Salvador, El Salvador, in December 2009. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
