I have been an arts and cultural writer for 11 years, working across Mumbai, Dubai, Florence, Rome, and Milan. I believe in infusing everything with poetic essence, prioritising rhythm over rhyme. With two hazel eyes for detail, I’m on a mission to correct the world’s linguistic slip-ups—one misplaced comma at a time. My subjects range from the nuances of a Renaissance masterpiece to dissecting contemporary exhibitions and runway narratives; from questioning why a building will not crumble to examining furniture designed to hurt your savings but save your back. When I am not shaping sentences or critiquing an artwork, you will find me behind my phone camera lens, capturing mundane moments in predominantly monochrome. Take a look: @SanaKrishna89. Over the past decade, I have also worked with a contemporary gallery and an artist studio, developing curatorial strategies, conceptual frameworks, exhibitions, publications, and public programmes—all with an eye toward the relationships, contexts, and gestures that give art its resonance. What has shaped my perspective most is having experienced the art world from both sides—as a journalist, while also as a gallery. That dual exposure has given me a far more layered understanding of artistic evolution, market dynamics, and the wider cultural conversations surrounding contemporary art.
