Sunaina is a contemporary artist of Indian origin based in Singapore. Trained as a textile designer in India, she later studied the traditional Japanese art of Nihonga under Suiko Ohta-sensei in Tokyo, before completing her MFA at Goldsmiths, University of London and LASALLE College of the Arts.

​

Her practice explores ritual, repetition, and the body's relationship to pain and healing—often using industrial materials, textiles, and embroidery to reflect fragility and transformation over time. Currently, she is researching traditional healing practices in Southeast Asia and their use in chronic conditions like diabetes and breast cancer.

 

She has exhibited internationally in Japan, India, Singapore, Europe, and the Middle East. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the ESSL Museum in Vienna, Mumbai Airports Authority, and private collectors worldwide.
