She recently graduated with MA Painting from the Royal College of Art, where she was shortlisted for the Jaguar x RCA Prize 2025. She has exhibited internationally and received the Women’s Achiever Art Award 2024 in Goa, India. Divya was a trained dentist before she became a painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\"\u003eShe navigates painting as a necessity, an instinctive way of being in this world. Having lived through PTSD, gender biases, displacement, and generational trauma, she finds painting vast and fluid enough to hold the intensity of being human. Recursive and dynamic gestures are bodily accumulations that hover between compulsive and meditative, becoming records of endurance, healing, and reclamation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fe-block fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1763633398570_6894\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1763633398570_6894\" data-sqsp-block=\"text\" data-definition-name=\"website.components.html\" data-block-type=\"1337\" data-block-scripts='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/47e556c0-8e8a-4089-9274-31b3e78f138d_358\/website.components.html.visitor.js\"]' data-block-css='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/47e556c0-8e8a-4089-9274-31b3e78f138d_358\/website.components.html.styles.css\"]' class=\"sqs-block website-component-block sqs-block-website-component sqs-block-html html-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-text-block-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\" class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2025 MA in Painting, Royal College of Art, London, UK\u003cbr\u003e2024 Postgraduate Fine Art Diploma, Royal College of Art, London, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelected Group Shows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2025; Small is Beautiful, Flowers Gallery, London, UK; Diasporic Archives, Maverick Projects, London, UK; 17 Points of Departure, Maverick Projects, London, UK; Group Exhibition, Lido Stores Gallery, Margate, UK; Art for Everyone, Art_list, Geneva, CH; The Summer Day in Support of Sisterhood, Silian Gallery, London, UK; Group Exhibition, Jaguar Land Rover Headquarters, Gaydon, UK; \u003cbr\u003eRecipes for Healing, Hanger Gallery RCA, London, UK; Works on Paper, Painting Building RCA, London, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"untitled-12","title":"Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cartamagna.art\/collections\/divya-balivada?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=divya\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003eDivya Balivada (b. 1992)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eUntitled\u003c\/em\u003e, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eOil, pigment sticks on paper \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e15 x 15 cm \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e All of our artwork is shipped in protective soft packaging and insured for peace of mind.
