Discovering new artists can be such a wonderful thing, whether you are looking to add art to your walls or simply find some inspiration. Various farmer’s markets and pop-up markets are great places to discover new artists, as many of them have taken to exhibiting and selling their works at these popular places. However, if you are too lazy to head out on a hot weekend afternoon that doesn’t mean you need to miss out on this creative greatness. You’ll find many of them on Instagram. Here are three of our top favorites. 

Aashish Arts

A self taught artist, Aashish exhibits his drawings and paintings on his Instagram page. There is quite a variety of landscape paintings and portraits as well and you are bound to find one that appeals to you. You can also commission him to make a painting or sketch from a photo of your choice. We recommend you scroll through the Instagram page to get a feel of the artist’s works before making a purchase or placing an order. 

Sangee Shrestha

A freelance visual artist and academician, Sangee Shrestha’s page on Instagram gives you a glimpse into her vibrant world of paintings and sculptures. Her work is captivating because of the use of colors and juxtaposition of ideas. The ceramic pieces are also intriguing and might be great conversation starters should you choose to bring one home. We also love her contemporary artworks that are visually enthralling. 

Nibhaa Art

We first discovered her at Labim Mall’s Saturday market where she was quietly selling her paintings. Since then, we have bought quite a few of her works and they adorn our living room walls. Though Nibhaa is marketed as a lifestyle brand that makes crafts and functional pieces for your home, paintings and prints of her work are also available at really affordable prices.
