Journey of Anika   

Anika Khurana is an artist specialising in Acrylic painting on canvas, and having an educational background in Textiles Multimedia and Fine Arts.  It felt natural for her to make a transition into a field and create beautiful products which have functionality, feel and texture.

Anika started her journey playing with resin in early 2020, just when the COVID pandemic hit, and initially started with adding resin on wine glass stems and has been fascinated by the results. In March 2020, she finally managed to get the right technique down and showcased the 1st set of glasses officially. For her it was a challenging as well as exciting journey, as the brand-new medium resin is highly manipulating itself. At first, she recasted 06 wine glasses and presented them to her friends and family, which were appreciated and got sales as well. Ever since then, she’s expanding and experimenting with this technique on different mediums and solids, figuring out how to use the liquid. Moreover, for her Asili started more off a passion that turned into business, so she enjoys thoroughly and makes a good marketplace nowadays, with a wider range of innovative and ornamentation products.
