About
Oriya, when discussing her art, expressed that she desires and expects viewers to be moved when they gaze upon her paintings. Unlike traditional women who adhere to established femininity norms, Oriya is a game changer. Her work is adorned with a unique blend of needlework, thread, glitter, and collage.
The sources of her art are deeply intertwined with her personal history and the historical context in which she lived. The politics of biography play a significant role. Oriya’s artistic process is rooted in her own life experiences, drawing inspiration directly from the era she inhabited. As an artist and a woman, she grappled with societal issues related to women. Her work reflects a personal journey within the constraints of a specific time, and her determination led her to overcome numerous obstacles."
