Namita Paul

Namita Paul is a San Francisco-based artist whose work bridges personal narratives and collective histories. Engaging deeply with themes of home, rupture, memory, and repair, Paul’s practice draws inspiration from architectural spaces and the lingering imprints they leave on our lives. Her current work  delves into the emotional and spatial echoes of grief, exploring how physical environments shape and reflect inner landscapes. Often, her work contemplates the symbolic and material presence of debris—fragments of what once was—as metaphors for loss, transition, and resilience.

Guided by concept and material, Paul employs a diverse range of media—large-scale installation, drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, and photography—to render visible the intersections of time, place, and memory. Her art transforms personal experiences into shared reflections, illuminating the invisible ties between space and sentiment.

Namita Paul holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts, an MA in Cultural Studies from the University of Washington, and an MFA from the California College of the Arts.
