Kanika was born and grew up in Delhi. She graduated from Delhi College of Art, majoring in fine arts. She now lives in Valsad with her family. In the modest town away from the white noise, she is often humbled by the waves and the vast stretch of the ocean. Close to nature, she connects with that side of herself which can be so easily lost in the daily ramblings of a routine.

Her passion for painting started at an early age of 4. Since then she is constantly exploring and then expressing herself through different art forms. In these formative years her painting in different mediums like charcoal, dry pastels, oil and lately fabric, has shown the expanse of nature that is infinite and constant. Motion, space and colour are her subjects and forte. Be it landscape, forests, rocks, mountain, desert, beaches, waves, trees or flowers, they all exist harmoniously in the seamless expanse.
