Vidya Prasad (Vichala Dixit)
Bangalore-based visual artist

Vidya S. Prasad, known in the art world as Vichala Dixit, is a Bangalore-based visual

artist with over two decades of experience in contemporary and traditional art forms.

Rooted in Banavasi, the land of the first Kadamba dynasty, her work reflects a unique blend

of heritage, nature, and conceptual expression.

A Gold Medalist in Botany from Karnataka College, Dharwad, she further trained in the arts

with a BVA Foundation from KEN School of Arts, Bangalore, and enriched her

understanding of the human psyche with an M.A. in Psychology. This multidisciplinary

background informs her art with intellectual depth, emotional resonance, and aesthetic

sophistication.

Vidya’s oeuvre spans contemporary works, Mysore paintings, conceptual pieces, and

nature-inspired compositions. Her signature style is characterized by bold and confident

brushstrokes, soft watercolour textures, and thematic storytelling that connects mind,

nature, and soul.

Beyond the canvas, she is also a mentor and educator, guiding young talents at Hongiranaa

Fine Arts, and actively participates as an anchor and presenter at TV shows and cultural art

events.

Her philosophy resonates in her words:

“When art gets blessings from Mother Nature, it adds an extra glow to the work.”

Selected Exhibitions: Solo shows such as “Kanasu Nanasu” (2022) and “Kanasu Nanasu

2” (2023), along with numerous group and national exhibitions at Karnataka Chitrakala

Parishath, Indian Institute of World Culture, Artizen Gallery, New Delhi, and others.
