I was born in Metz, France, and raised in London within a family shaped by French, Indian and Greek cultures. 

​

My paintings begin with space—not as architecture or landscape, but as something lived, imagined and continually becoming. Originally trained as an architect, I later turned to painting, moving from the design of buildings towards an exploration of space itself.

​

Working between abstraction and recognition, I make paintings that invite viewers into environments where memory, perception and material presence converge. Rooms, gardens, landscapes and abstract forms become different expressions of the same enquiry, encouraging moments of pause, reflection and discovery.

Through layers of paint, traces, erasures and shifting spatial relationships, I seek to create images that remain open rather than fixed, where meaning emerges through looking.

​

While echoes of architecture, landscape and cartography occasionally surface, they function as points of departure rather than subjects in themselves. For me, painting is a way of thinking through space—its atmosphere, its boundaries and its capacity to hold experience.

​

I completed an MFA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2025. Alongside my own painting practice, I am Director of the Estate of my father, the late painter Balraj Khanna, where I lead the research, archiving and long-term development of his artistic legacy.
