Purvi Garg – Finding Peace, Power & Purpose Through Fine Art
In the tranquil cityscapes of Rajasthan, India, fine artist Purvi Garg, known online as Brushed by P, is quietly carving a space for herself in the contemporary art world. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that art doesn’t always begin with mastery—it often begins with connection. For Purvi, that spark arrived early in school, where painting instantly felt soothing, natural, and deeply personal. Even then, she knew art was where she belonged.
A Journey That Grew From Stillness and Self-Discovery
Purvi’s foundations were shaped by her school art teachers, having studied the subject for four years. Beyond that, she is primarily self-taught, nurturing her skills through practice, experimentation, and observation. After college, she followed her instinct and decided to pursue art more seriously—continuing to build her portfolio, take on commissions, and grow at her own pace while balancing other responsibilities.
“What inspired me,” she says, “is the feeling I get while painting. I feel calm and the most myself when I’m painting.”
It’s this emotional clarity that reflects in her work—art that invites viewers to breathe, pause, and feel something real.
A Style Rooted in Nature’s Beauty
While Purvi is still exploring and shaping her signature style, her heart gravitates naturally toward nature-inspired art—water, fields, landscapes, and especially horses. These elements embody freedom, strength, serenity, and movement, all of which flow seamlessly into her paintings.
Her portfolio includes commissioned pieces created for offices, homes, and even a large-scale project of nearly 100 artworks for a community centre.
A Project Close to Her Heart
Among her many creations, one piece stands out:
A powerful horse painting set against a blue water-like background, capturing a lone horse mid-gallop. Beyond its visual strength, this artwork marked a deeply personal milestone—it helped Purvi regain confidence in her craft after a four-year gap from serious painting.
“It reinstated my faith in my skills,” she says, a testament to how creativity can rebuild us when we return to it with courage.
The Inspirations Behind Her Canvas
Purvi draws inspiration from:
Nature and the rhythm of everyday surroundings
Photographs, both found and personally clicked
Artists such as Johnson Tsang, Werner Bronkhorst, and Francisco Fonseca, who influence her perception of form, texture, and storytelling
Her work is grounded in observation and emotion, allowing each piece to evolve naturally.
Inside Her Creative Process
Every commission begins with understanding. Purvi takes time to:
Note the client’s needs
Study the interior space where the artwork will live
Collect inspiration from the internet, real-life visuals, and previous work
Present concepts for the client to choose from
Tweak, refine, and adapt the artwork as it unfolds
She believes creativity is not rigid—it grows and reshapes itself along the way.
Challenges, Growth & The Path Forward
Coming from a non-art background without formal institutional training, Purvi’s biggest challenge has been building connections in the art world. Yet she continues to grow by:
Participating in exhibitions
Reaching out to artists through Instagram
Setting achievable goals
Breaking big dreams into smaller, manageable steps
“I always take a step back to look at the larger picture I want to build,” she says—wisdom that reflects both in her mindset and her art.
Current & Upcoming Projects
Purvi is currently immersed in:
Preparing for an upcoming exhibition in January
Completing the large community-centre painting order
Consulting on a new residential art piece
Her goals for the near future?
To conduct a successful exhibition, grow her Instagram presence, and welcome more commission work that aligns with her creative vision.
The Message Behind Her Art
In today’s fast-moving world, Purvi hopes her art creates a moment of stillness.
“I want to spread positivity through my work. If someone pauses—even for a few seconds—to admire its beauty, its craft, or its aesthetic, that’s enough for now.”
Her art isn’t just visual expression—it's an invitation to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Advice for Emerging Artists
“Learn to say no to work that makes you feel small, underpaid, or uncomfortable.”
A simple yet powerful message—one that encourages artists to value their craft, boundaries, and self-worth.
