Rejoicing in Our Shared Spirit

Salma Arastu, a Berkeley based artist and a native of Rajasthan, India, has been creating and exhibiting her paintings internationally since graduating with a master’s degree in Fine Arts from MS University, Baroda, India. Her art form and techniques are greatly inter-woven with Arabic Calligraphy, Miniature Arts and Folk patterns, and major influences through her travels. In her artwork, she finds the many ways in which all life forms connect and how we can all be part of a more humane world.
