Manisha Agrawal’s artistic style stems largely from her sensitivity to her environment. Her detailed botanical illustrations, depiction of various flora and fauna as well paintings of endangered species serve as an archive of what could one day be extinct. Threat of encroachment and a desire to preserve and protect her surroundings brings about a sense of urgency in her work. She uses symbolism and realism in her renditions and often adopts the miniature style of painting to develop her body of work.
