The Art

Sotheby’s, as well as India’s Saffronart, regularly include her works in their auctions. Her exhibitions are also held internationally. Having conducted around thirty solo and numerous group exhibitions, her artistic journey shows no sign of rest. Believing that dissatisfaction is the basis of growth, she continues to strive for new creations. A few years ago, the news of counterfeit versions of her paintings being sold once again demonstrated her immense popularity.

In her art, Anjolie Ela Menon consistently addresses the social position of women. In her paintings, she portrays women’s status in contrast to male dominance in various ways. She also explores themes of loneliness and the lives of elderly women within families. Most of the women depicted in her works belong to the working and middle classes. She has no shortage of subjects—ranging from various narratives to depictions of deities, as well as works centered on Christ.

She has also created unique social imagery through subjects like old windows and doors.
