Some artists create for beauty. Others create meaning. For Nehha Kandhari, painting is a bridge between spirituality and creativity, an art form that carries the power to heal, uplift, and transform. Recognized as the world’s first Vastu compliant painter, Nehha’s journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring.
Based in Mumbai and internationally known for her unique approach, Nehha believes that the purpose of her art is rooted in both spiritual practice and creative expression. Her philosophy stems from the idea that knowledge and energy transcend lifetimes, and that each brushstroke can channel positivity into a space. For her, painting is not only about aesthetics, it is about creating an environment filled with abundance, comfort, and harmony.
Her personal story adds weight to this belief. Nehha recalls the first time she placed one of her paintings in her own home, aligned to the correct Vastu direction. What followed was nothing short of astonishing. Her children began excelling academically, her husband experienced stronger business relations and clearer decision-making, and the family felt a renewed sense of harmony. It was as though the artwork had become a conduit for positive energy. “When I think back to that time, I still get goosebumps,” she says.
This transformative experience set her on a new path. Today, every piece she creates is designed as a medium to emit positivity into society. Rooted in the ancient Indian science of Vastu Shastra, her process is deeply meditative. Each painting is made with focus, intention, and positivity imbibed into every stroke, so that the final artwork doesn’t just decorate a wall, but influences the energy of the entire space.
Nehha also personalizes her work for each client. Through detailed consultations, she listens to their challenges and goals, and designs paintings tailored to their homes or offices. From size to imagery to colors, every element is chosen with care to ensure the artwork aligns with the client’s environment and needs. Discretion and ethics, she insists, are at the heart of her practice.
Her efforts have not gone unnoticed. Nehha has been honored with multiple accolades, including the Iconic Woman in Arts and Creativity 2022 award by the Governor of Maharashtra, the Times Business Award for Culture and Art, and recognition as one of the Economic Times Most Influential Leaders. She has also been featured in Forbes India for her groundbreaking contribution to art and design.
With demand for her work growing rapidly, Nehha continues to balance her roles as an artist, entrepreneur, and mother of two. Each painting she creates is a labor of love and patience, designed to not just fill a space, but to transform it. For her clients, the result is more than art — it is an experience of healing, prosperity, and joy.
