Born in Sanjaya, a village in Gujarat, Madhvi Parekh reflects her rural influences in her art.

She explored the possibility of depicting her childhood memories through her paintings, where images of fantasy and early days are woven into her entire work, which lend it a surreal, dreamlike quality.

Madhvi's work has its inspiration in rural India, while her style is contemporary. She has been exhibiting her work since 1972, all over the world and has close to a hundred solo and group shows to her credit.
