Nilima as an artist herself, who also teaches at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Nilima brought up Niara in spaces inundated with colours and art. \u201cShe always had paints or crayons in her hands. We encouraged her to colour outside the margin, knowing that her picture will keep getting bigger,\u201d says Nilima. From an early age, Niara developed an affinity for flowers and floral patterns, something that continues to underpin her art today. \u201cShe has a particular fondness for roses, but her other favourite flowers keep changing, often depending on the season,\u201d says Nilima. At 10, Niara had her first solo exhibition in Mumbai (where she was born and raised), with all 35 paintings sold out in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
