Roopali Arora is an abstract artist based in Sydney. Her artistic endeavor is a celebration of spontaneity and freedom. Through a palette of bold colors and fluid forms, her art is a conversation between intuition and expression and it strives to evoke an emotional resonance, inviting viewers to embark on their unique visual odyssey. By layering gestural marks with textures, drips and washes, she creates depth and movement in her large-scale abstracts.

“ I embrace the tension between control and chaos, allowing spontaneity to drive my artistic decisions. My art is inspired by various genres, from Western expressionism to the rich folk art practices of my birthplace in India. These two visual worlds, though distant in context, share a rawness, a directness, and a deep trust in instinct over intellect. Folk art has long inspired me for its honesty—for how it preserves memory, place, and identity. I draw on its use of color, visual rhythm and embracing imperfection. My work is characterised by its ‘energy’ and ‘movement’ and a minimalist approach. I work primarily in acrylic and charcoal.”
