Hiya Nandini Jaiswal is a London-based artist of Indian origin whose mixed-media practice brings quiet vitality to the everyday. Moving fluidly between painting, filmmaking, and a parallel corporate life, her work is shaped by a lived experience of multiplicity, growing up between Bombay and London, and learning to hold contrasting worlds within a single frame.

Her practice is driven by transmutation. Psychological energy, memory, and inner dialogue are distilled into forms that appear deceptively simple, yet remain emotionally charged. Hiya approaches art as a space of solace, not as escape, but as a place where complexity is softened, reorganised, and allowed to breathe. Everyday objects, symbols, and figures become vessels for feeling, carrying traces of humour, vulnerability, and introspection.

Balancing an emerging artistic career alongside filmmaking and professional commitments, Hiya’s versatility is not incidental, it is foundational. Her work reflects a life lived across disciplines and identities, where creativity becomes both anchor and release. She has painted commissioned works for actors and prominent figures within the Indian film industry, though her practice remains deeply personal, guided less by spectacle than by sincerity.

Hiya’s visual language resonates with minimalistic spaces, works that do not demand attention, but reward it. They sit comfortably within contemporary interiors, offering warmth, softness, and subtle emotional presence. Her art does not seek to overwhelm; it invites pause.
