Samsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli

Laasya Art is honored to celebrate a special engagement with one of India’s most distinguished contemporary artists, Seema Kohli and her acclaimed artwork for five-days this February 2026 across Palo Alto at Stanford University, the Pacific Art League, Palo Alto Art Center, and in Santa Clara at the Triton Museum.

Opening on February 27, 2026 at the Pacific Art League, Samsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli, will feature artist Seema Kohli’s most recent paintings, providing local collectors with a unique opportunity to engage with her work in person. The artist will be in the Bay Area during the exhibition, with several events-including lectures and exhibition tours-scheduled
throughout the week.

Kohli’s work is inspired by the generative forces of nature-its cycles of growth, dissolution, and renewal. Central to the artist’s visual language is Shakti, the transformative power of the divine feminine. Kohli uses the womb as a potent symbol of creation and possibility, exploring transformation within the eternal cycles of birth and death. Kohli’s practice weaves together diverse philosophical traditions, further informing her exploration of the body as a sacred vessel and a site of inner knowledge. Her use of 24-karat gold and silver leaf, textiles, metal, and recycled yarn evoke ritual, care, and reverence within material form.

Kohli’s work has been featured in major international exhibitions and museums, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Sacred Art in Belgium in 2019 and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2016. Her work is held in institutional collections such as the British Museum (UK), Rubin Museum (USA), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (US), among others.
