"My practice navigates the quiet weight of routine—the slow build of small, unremarkable moments lived and relived... Within this disorder lies a strange loneliness, a soft sense of insecurity, and a melancholy that’s hard to name but always present."
In Yagyik's work, overlooked corners of the home become sites of beauty, discomfort, and reflection.
Simran Yagyik (b. 1998) delves into the quiet weight of routine and the subtle repetitions of everyday life. Her practice explores the emotional undercurrents of the mundane—where stillness can soothe or suffocate, and where gestures, objects, and overlooked corners of the home become sites of beauty, discomfort, and reflection. Through these explorations, she unravels the melancholic yet poetic nature of domestic spaces, especially the middle-class home, touching on themes of longing, belonging, and the unresolved rhythm of the ordinary. “My practice navigates the quiet weight of routine—the slow build of small, unremarkable moments lived and relived… Within this disorder lies a strange loneliness, a soft sense of insecurity, and a melancholy that’s hard to name but always present,” she reflects.
Simran holds a Master of Visual Arts (M.V.A.) in Printmaking from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, where she was awarded the Prof. V.S. Patel Gold Medal, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Graphics (Printmaking) from the Government College of Art, Chandigarh, Panjab University, graduating with distinction.

She was awarded the Open Hand Art Studio Scholarship for Printmaking (2024–25), the Vis-à-Vis Studio Residency (2024–26), and the Writing Fellowship by BICAR x Space Studio Baroda (2023).
