Shradha Devkota is a visual artist born and brought up in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Her practice explores the tension between concealment and revelation—what is hidden and what inevitably seeps through. Drawn to spaces of ambiguity and vagueness, where clarity is fleeting and meaning exists in fragments, she finds form in the indistinct and the uncertain. Traces of shame, regret, and the instinct to protect linger-hiding from men, from force, from truths, and from her younger self. Yet within concealment, there is also a slow, deliberate unveiling. Through process and material, these hidden layers emerge, piece by piece.

Her approach is rooted in intuition, repetition, and labour. She returns often to the idea of home and the ways it defines and confines. Home becomes both refuge and restraint, a space that has taught her how to feel—and how to hide.

The tension between visibility and invisibility, between the desire to be seen and the choice to remain hidden, is central to her practice; a quiet assertion of control. In navigating these thresholds, her work maps the emotional and psychological landscapes that shape us.
