Nandan Ghiya is a young and emerging artist from India. With no formal training, he has become recognized for his experimental art using a combination of photographs, paints and other found items. Through his work, he wishes to distort perception and to explore the effects that digital technology has on indigenous cultures and personal identities. Ghiya's art presents the tensions between a culturally rich country and a rapidly globalizing world.
