About The Artwork
Brown Girl #1 is a self-referential piece depicting the artist in contemplation, yet the work is also representative of the collective experience of young women as they reflect upon their identity. In a world where the beauty standards still lean towards Eurocentric ideals, coming of age means learning to value oneself both internally and externally. This work was created at a pivotal point in Kalkat’s life and is a manifestation of self-discovery.

Saloni Kalkat
For Saloni Kalkat, joy is embodied in the oily touch of paint to a cotton canvas. Kalkat pulls and pushes paint to create her intimate portraits in which she explores identity, diaspora, and notions of culture. Classically trained in the Western canon of oil painting, it was by reproducing ‘Old Master’ works that Kalkat developed her technical abilities. Her approach to the figure celebrates not only the outer form of her subjects, but also their inner landscapes resulting in evocative, tactile compositions with emotional vibrancy.
