A Lifelong Connection to Art
Anjali’s artistic journey began at a remarkably young age. “I’ve always been deeply connected to the world of art,” she says. “Growing up in India, I was fascinated by how art could transcend boundaries and convey powerful messages. I started painting at just one and a half years old.” Her passion for different art forms flourished as she explored various mediums and learned from inspiring teachers. This exploration quickly transformed into a mission: using art to share her peaceful experiences with the world.
The Inspiration behind her Art
When asked about the core inspiration behind her work, Anjali reflects on the power of art to promote peace. “Art has the ability to deeply convey messages, question our actions, heal, uplift, and connect us to the tranquillity of nature,” she explains. “This has always been my guiding force—spreading peace through art.”
A Milestone of Reflection
Having celebrated 25 years in the art world, Anjali sees this milestone as a moment of personal growth. “It has been fulfilling,” she shares. “It’s a reflection of my evolution as an artist, a parent, and a person. It’s also given me a chance to express gratitude to everyone who has contributed to my success.”
Cultural Heritage and Artistic Style
Anjali’s cultural roots play a vital role in her work, deeply influencing the themes she explores. “Indian culture, with its rich symbolism and spiritual depth, profoundly shapes my art,” she says. “But I blend realism and abstraction in a way that resonates universally, creating pieces that appeal to people across the globe.”
New Collections and Themes
One of Anjali’s most notable collections, Peace Lies Within, was first created in 2011. This collection was met with global appreciation and found homes in various countries. In 2025, Anjali released a new edition of the Peace Lies Within collection, marking another chapter in her artistic journey. “Many have informed that this collection embodies the extraordinary capacity to find peace within themselves, even amid turmoil,” she explains. “These works serve as a reminder to connect with our inner calm and achieve success.”
Other collections, such as ‘Blessings from the Stars’, ‘Peace in Nature’, and ‘Stairs to Success’, also embody themes of positivity, tranquility, and a possibility to interpret them in your own unique way.
The Process of Creation
When selecting her mediums, Anjali chooses based on the emotion she wishes to convey. “Watercolors create a delicate, calming sense, while oil pastels are used for bolder expressions,” she notes. “I enjoy experimenting with mixed media to find the one that best reflects the message of the painting.”
Anjali’s earlier collections were mostly oil and acrylics on huge canvases. In her recent art collection, she has also brought forth smaller size paintings which the art lovers can easily place anywhere in their homes and offices.
The meaning behind the collection ‘Peace Lies Within’
The Peace Lies Within collection is particularly close to Anjali’s heart. “Each piece is created with permanent markers on paper, and the strokes cannot be altered or erased. These black and white paintings, sometimes accented with shimmering watercolors, represent clarity and peace. They can be placed in homes, offices, meditative and other spaces, where they can serve as a reminder of the inner peace that resides within us.”
Gratitude for Global Appreciation
Anjali expresses her deep gratitude when someone chooses features, rewards or to bring her art into their lives. “It’s incredibly humbling,” she says. “It’s an honor to know that my work resonates so deeply with others. It affirms the connection they have to the message in the art.”
Looking Ahead
As Anjali looks toward the future, she envisions a continued expansion of her creative endeavors. “In the coming years, I plan to create more paintings, but also illustrate and write books for parents, sharing the methods that helped us educate Manikya at home,” she says. “I want to empower families, especially in rural areas, to nurture and empower the next generation.”
A Legacy of Peace and Empowerment
Anjali Sanghi’s artistic journey is a testament to the transformative power of art and education. Through her work, she continues to spread messages of peace, resilience, and empowerment, enriching the lives of those who experience her creations around the world. As she celebrates 25 years of artistic expression, it is clear that her influence will continue to inspire and uplift for many years to come.
