Payal Puthran is an Indian, self-taught artist living in the Netherlands for more than a decade. Her specialty lies in food and recipe illustrations. Payal has converted many nostalgic recipes of her clients into visual memories by way of her paintings. Payal uses traditional and digital mediums to make her creations.
As an expat, food nostalgia is a constant and Payal found a way to connect to these feelings by way of painting food that connects her to her home country, India. Recipe illustrations materialized out of mindless doodling while talking to her mother describe an Indian dessert recipe.
Today, Payal enjoys breaking down a recipe into painted out steps and has created nostalgic illustrations for her clients over India, US and Europe.
Payal welcomes you to her exhibition showing painted 'Stroopwafel's, 'Dropjes', 'Haring' and recipes for 'Stamppot', 'Chai', 'Biryani' amongst others.
