ABOUT

Born in London in 1995, Lili Sastry is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist of English and Indian descent, specialising as both a painter and musician. Living in a vibrant city like London and working with many different creatives provides her with diverse experiences and challenges. As a multidisciplinary artist, her music and music video creations have evolved alongside her paintings, fuelling each other.

For her art practice, Lili uses figurative and surrealist imagery to reveal the truth behind how human behaviour manifests differently in men and women: “My paintings are portals into the human psyche, and they show that in the pursuit of what is true, all else must fall away to diagnose and see the truth.”

Her acrylic paintings, often mistaken for oil works, conceptually embody the perseverance through pain and struggle to uncover what is good—the unraveling of chaos to achieve order. This laborious technique mirrors the subject matter, diagnosing the chaotic dysfunction of human behaviour to find truth and create a healthy sense of personhood.
