Mala Hassett
Contemporary Abstract Landscape Artist
Mala Hassett is a contemporary abstract landscape artist living and working in Dorset. A native of Mumbai, she moved to UK 30 years ago. After a traditional commercial career, Mala earned a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Central Saint Martins in London. She combined a family move to Zurich with her ambition to paint. Mala’s move from India to UK resulted in her, a deep longing for colour. She is constantly looking for avenues to recreate the visual spectrum of her birthplace, particularly of luxurious saris. Her paintings are a response to her environment - always starting at a specific location; then the colour takes over and transforms it to a frame filled with loss and nostalgia. It is as if she is wrapping the landscape with the most luxurious silk sari she can conjure up. She has participated in a number of group shows in UK and Switzerland. Her paintings are part of private collections in UK, Europe and the Americas You can see more of her work on www.malahassett.com or on Instagram at @malahassett.
