Shyama Golden started oil painting at the age of 12, but spent a decade as a designer and illustrator before committing full-time to painting in 2020.
She is based in Los Angeles and represented by Friends Indeed Gallery in San Francisco. Her current works populate a parallel dimension with a cast of characters which include vine-covered trees suggestive of human archetypes, Sri Lankan devil dancers dressed as Yakkas who take part in exorcist rituals, and self portraiture. The work is intended to appear theatrical, reflecting on an awareness of the social performance necessitated by our relationships with each other and the drama of everyday life. undefined
