Sonam Sagar is a Delhi-based artist who completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the College of Art, New Delhi in 2023. She is currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Graphics (Printmaking) at the Government College of Art, Chandigarh.Sonam’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in observation, reflection, and emotional response to the world around her.

Her  "Way of Life" (Jeevan Shailee), explores the competitive and self-centered nature of modern society. Through this powerful visual commentary, Sonam invites viewers to reflect on their role in the fast-paced, often cutthroat "race" of life. Blending metaphor, social observation, and lived experience, Sonam’s work encourages empathy, awareness, and a more thoughtful approach to life and art.
